Solar Thermal Pool Heating

Swimming pools are big energy users and anyone who owns one knows this. The good news is that you can dramatically reduce your bills with solar thermal pool heating.

Solar thermal heating can save you up to 70-80% of your pool heating costs and huge carbon savings. With payback for solar thermal pool systems being around 5 years - one of the fastest paybacks of all renewable energy solutions – this makes them a big money saver for swimming pool owners.

Solar thermal panels can be sized to suit any pool size from domestic indoor or outdoor pools through to large scale solar heated leisure centre pools. The solar thermal panels work alongside your existing boiler and heat exchanger and offer a base load of natural heat which reduces your running costs dramatically

Once installed solar thermal pool heating costs very little to run, only a pump and controller requiring minimal electrical power.

The Cost of Solar Thermal Pool Heating
