Solar pool heating

Solar panels are good in a way to heat your pool and also help to generate electricity for your home. The way you are thinking to heat the pool is okay for summers but in winters it is definitely going to be tough

The PV panels would take up 612 square metres for a 90kW array. Air sourced heat pumps would need to operate through the night to keep up with the heat loss and won't look attractive.

Solar heating (thermosiphon) needs the water tank above the panels above the 'child interface' area; start worrying about wind loading...

The only technology that fits aesteticaly and technology is thermodynamic panels...

Hi Danc,

The topsoil is centimetres thick - no chance for a GSHP mat collector

Great idea for the heating of pools via solar power, just back from hols and would need to be a polar bear to enjoy how cold the pool was.  Had to bite the bullet and go in as our grandson was in it regardless.

If everyone that has'nt paid their community fees paid, up the outstanding amount around 670.000 euros.  All the pools could have solar powered heated pools in the winter.
