A sub project of the Alexandra Renewal Project, this study involves a rental housing development in which solar water geysers were installed and a hostel upgrading in which solar geysers were not considered. The cost of the installation in 520 flats was expensive and several lessons were learnt in the process. These lessons could contribute towards a better understanding, by legislators, the energy utility, planners and administrators, of the obstacles to increased uptake of solar water geysers in SA and in particular in low cost urban housing developments.
