FOR PROPERTY DEVELOPERS
Compliance That Tenants Feel
Early Leak Detection
SANS 10400-XA Compliance
Portfolio-Wide Oversight
Claims Reduction
Solar-Ready at Replacement
No Extra Infrastructure
Load Shedding Resilience
Tenant Satisfaction
Single Warranty
Catch it before it costs you.
A geyser failure in a tenant's unit doesn't start with a flood. It starts with a temperature anomaly no one notices. A slow element degradation. A pressure shift that builds over weeks. By the time water hits the ceiling, the damage is already five figures.
The Elon Smart Thermostat monitors performance continuously and sends fault and leak alerts in real time. You see the problem developing on your phone — not in an emergency callout invoice. That's the difference between a R200 maintenance visit and a R40,000 insurance claim.
Early detection isn't a feature. For a property developer, it's the whole point.

Nine Months Monitored, 73% Solar — The Longest-Running Dataset in the Series
The smallest system in the series, the longest monitoring period, and still a 73% solar fraction. This is the proof point for budget-conscious households: even a modest 1.6 kWp array pays for itself and keeps delivering.

It’s the only solution that retrofits standard electric geysers and is solar PV-ready—combining smart thermostat control, connected monitoring and seamless solar integration.
Yes — if you have a compatible geyser (for example from your preferred brand), your electrician can replace the thermostat with the Elon smart unit and convert it into a smart, solar-ready heater.
The Elon 100 is a solar-PV water-heater kit. The Smart Water solution is a next-generation smart thermostat platform that turns standard geysers into connected, solar-ready devices.
The size depends on your hot-water usage, location and array size; as a guide we recommend a minimum of around 1 kWp of solar PV for the retrofit system.
If there is sun the system can heat with solar; if there’s no grid and no solar it will pause heating. During load-shedding you still benefit whenever solar is available.
