Pricing Information

The cost of pool heating varies based on multiple factors, making it difficult to provide an exact estimate. However, in most cases, pool solar heating is more cost-effective than a heat pump of equivalent size.

While you can purchase a heat pump for around $5,000, its long-term performance and running costs should be considered. An over sized pool solar heating system delivers much larger heating performance to a heat pump but at a fraction of the operating cost. Over 10 years, running a heat pump can cost approximately $50,000, whereas pool solar heating typically costs no more than $6,000 over the same period.

Our pool solar heating systems range from approximately 30kW equivalent output to over 80kW, offering a performance coefficient (COP) between 80 and 140. Seasonal running costs are typically between $450 and $600, making it the most cost-effective way to heat your pool.

Real-World Performance Example
Here’s an example of a PSH solar system in action in Auckland (December 2024):

80 sqm system
900-watt pump
Roof temperature: 62°C
Returning water temperature (2 PM): 48°C

The results are impressive: outstanding COP and kWh savings that amount to approximately $900 saved at $0.33 per kWh. By controlling water flow and optimizing system settings, we were able to maximize the system’s efficiency and produce very hot water from the solar collectors.
