Enhance the worth of your outside swimming pool by increasing its use of it through all seasons of the year and derive maximum fun and enjoyment. Solar panels can increase the number of swimming pool days twice over per year even when it’s used without a cover.
How do solar panels work with pool heating?
Solar panels can be an excellent option for heating your pool as they use renewable energy from the sun to heat the water. Here’s how they work:
-
Solar panels are installed on a sunny area, usually on a roof or a ground mount, facing south to maximize sun exposure.
-
Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells that absorb the energy from the sun and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.
-
The DC electricity then flows into an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used to power your pool pump and other electrical devices in your home.
-
The solar-heated water is pumped from the pool into the solar panels through a series of pipes.
-
As the water circulates through the solar panels, it is heated by the sun and then returned to the pool through another set of pipes.
-
A controller regulates the temperature of the pool water and the amount of solar energy used to heat it.
-
If there is not enough sunlight to heat the water to the desired temperature, a backup heater can be used to maintain the temperature.
Solar panels can provide a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to heat your pool. They require minimal maintenance and have a long lifespan, making them a smart investment for any pool owner.
