SASSA LOW PRESSURE SOLAR WATER
HEATER PROGRAMME HEATER PROGRAMME
May 19, 2011
Department of Energy, Pretoria
THE PROGRAMME
• Installs 110 litre low pressure SWHs in low income
households under PoA approach free of charge.
• The project will see an immediate positive impact on the
social, economic and environmental well-being.
SOLAR WATER HEATING (SWH)
• A water heating system using energy from the sun
• Dark evacuated tubes absorb heat and hot water rises naturally into the tank, while cool water in the tank flows down to the bottom of the vacuum tube.
• Main components:
1) collector,
2) liquid energy transfer medium (water or heat transfer fluid);
3) geyser/tank.
SALINENT PROJECT PARAMETERS
• Supplier Solar Academy of Sub Saharan Africa
(SASSA) distributing the Tasol brand
• 110 litre LP SWH has a daily thermal capacity of a
13.692 MJ, which equals to 1.38 MWh electricity 13.692 MJ, which equals to 1.38 MWh electricity
saving per year.
• Estimated annual emission reduction 1.3 tCO2/SWH
• First CPA includes 59,000 installations. Total
potential: 229 000 installations within 3 years
throughout South Africa.
• Total CER contribution sought 2.3 mil
BACKGROUND FOR THE PROGRAMME
Africa has the highest solar radiation levels in the world, which
makes the concept of SWH logical!
CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
• Over 50 % or 5 million households in South Africa have
electricity, but do not have a geyser in these households.
• The provision of SWHs free of charge for the targeted
households will result improved service delivery to residents households will result improved service delivery to residents
and to major social upliftment.
• The project will lead to employment opportunities in the solar
sector, with training provided for technicians .
• Current electricity supply is not enough to meet projected
future demand in South Africa. The proposed PoA will reduce
electric water heating loads and help the country to correct
the energy mix, with a greater focus on renewable energy.
• Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM
1. Applies the Programme of Activities Approach (PoA)
� First registered PoA in South Africa
� First SWH specific PoA worldwide
2. Methodology:
� Simplified modalities and procedures for small scale CDM � Simplified modalities and procedures for small scale CDM
projects
� AMS.I.C – Thermal energy for user with or without electricity
Comprise renewable energy technologies that supply users
with thermal energy that displaces fossil fuel based gird
energy (par 1 and17)
� Displacement of electricity is calculated as per the procedures
detailed in AMS-I.D; option b weighted average emissions of
the current generation mix has been applied
CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM3. Baseline:
� Suppressed demand argumentation - Para 46 of the CDM
Modalities and Procedures state that “The baseline may
include a scenario where future anthropogenic emissions by
sources are projected to rise above current levels, due to the
specific circumstances of the host Party.”
� Determined based the energy output as per SABS test � Determined based the energy output as per SABS test
(13.692 MJ/day/SWH)
4. Additionality:
� “Attachment A to Appendix B” of the simplified modalities and
procedures has been applied identifying the following barriers
for the CPA:
� Financial Resources - cash flow model
� Capacity to Absorb New Technologies - Comprehensive
argumentation
� Limited Information - Comprehensive argumentation
� Simplified Additionality for Micro scale Activities
CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM5. Unique identification and record keeping system for each CPA:
� Site Details: street address and GPS coordinates and ERF
number
� Residence details: first name, surname, ID number and contact
details
� Installer Details: installation date, installer name, company
and contact detailsand contact details
� Installation Details: Serial Number, SWH type, size and
collector area
� Residence Agreement to cede subsidy and carbon rights to
SASSA
The ERF number, is used to locate each SWH in a Geographical
Information System (GIS) tool to enable spatial integration. The GIS
(spatial view) can be used to identify candidate installations, as
well as inform relevant parities when the status of the installation
changes (e.g. finalized installation or failure).
6. Monitoring:
Has three measurement and verification levels that are applied
to ensure the operation of the SWH’s and to calculate the ex-
post emission reductions:
1) Real-time measurement (done in 1/10 000 of the SWHs),
CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM
2) Inspection of operationally (done in 1/100 of the SWHs), and
3) Simulation approach to determine energy provide for each SWH
passed on level 1 and 2 measurements.
Note: real time mesurment shall happen in max 50 km radius
from each installed SWH.
