Description	This chapter discusses the three primary water heating technologies currently used in South Africa and provides an energy and financial analysis of each technology. Electric water heating is the most common technology used to heat water in residential and commercial buildings in the country of South Africa. The National Solar Water Heating Program was launched in 2009 by the South African government with a goal of encouraging the installation of one million solar thermal water heating (SWH) systems by 2015. The selected systems investigated used specifications typical for the medium cost market in South Africa. In summary, for the specific selected South African conditions, the solar PV water heating technology offers better energy performance than the SWH. South Africa has been experiencing serious electricity generating capacity shortages for some time. Load shedding has become a constant threat in South Africa and new ways of providing energy storage and alternative electricity supplies are necessary to resolve this problem.
