Why Should You Invest in a Solar Pool Heating System?

by Solar Fit PROFESSIONAL SOLAR ENERGY COMPANY IN DAYTONA BEACH

Solar water heaters are common in Florida homes these days, but did you know that you can use the renewable sun's energy to heat your swimming pool also? You can find a wide range of solar heating systems out there within your budget to meet the needs and specifications of your swimming pool.

But why should you consider investing in a solar pool heating system in the first place?

The main reason you would want to install a solar energy system in Florida is to take advantage of the sun's free energy. This will benefit you in a couple of ways.

For one, you can substantially reduce your pool heating costs. While solar pool heating systems have a higher upfront outlay (between $3,000 and $4,000), they would have paid for themselves within around 3 to 5 years. With a serviceable life of about 20 to 25 years, savings over time are quite obvious.

There is also a strong environmental advantage of using solar energy. Because you will not be burning any gas or using any electricity to heat your pool, you will significantly minimize your ecological footprint.

Solar systems provide you with a cost-effective, eco-friendly and reliable solution to heating your pool — but if you want to make the most of your solar pool system, you need to make sure that you size your pool heating system correctly. Take these factors into account when sizing your pool:

The pool's size
Duration of the swimming season
Average regional temperatures
The desired temperature of the pool
Orientation/tilt and efficiency of the solar panel for pool

The use of the pool cover would also contribute enormously to your solar pool heating system's efficiency as it reduces the heat lost through evaporation by as much as 80%.
