Solar pool heating FAQs

How much does solar pool heating cost to run?

Running cost is mainly the pump energy required to move water through the roof collectors. Final cost depends on system size, pump setup, run time and site design.

When should I install solar pool heating?

The best time to install is before spring demand peaks, so the system is ready before the swimming season.

Do I need a pool cover?

A thermal cover is strongly recommended. It helps hold the heat generated by solar, heat pumps or gas and reduces evaporation overnight.

Is solar better than a heat pump?

Solar is usually the lowest running-cost option when roof space and sun exposure are available. A heat pump can be useful as a hybrid boost at either end of the season.

How is the system sized?

PSH looks at pool surface area, water volume, roof space, sun exposure, wind, shade, plumbing and your target swimming season before recommending collector area.
