Heating your outdoor swimming pool with solar panels is an effective and simple way to both lower your energy bills and keep your outdoor pool warm enough to swim throughout the majority of the year. Solar panel heating systems are easy to install, and last for years to come, providing you with plenty of free solar-heated hot water.

Similar to how your home solar heating system works, solar panels for pools turn the immense heat energy from the sun into something that is useful, renewable and sustainable. A typical solar panel heating system is able to provide sufficient hot water for an outdoor garden pool throughout the year. The scope of the heating system varies from one pool design to another. By installing solar panels for your pool, the recreational use of a normal garden swimming pool can be increased by up to five months a year, just by harnessing the energy from the sun.

In the past, to heat the water of an outdoor pool, you would need to either use an electrical heater or some other type of energy consuming heating system. Today, things have luckily changed, and we can use the sun’s energy to heat the water using a simple solar panel heating system. Comfortable pool water temperature is rather low compared to other uses of hot water, such as for showers and bath, so you won’t need to achieve that level of heat for your pool.

Use the Power of the Sun to Heat Your Pool

Over the past few years, the use of solar panels for swimming pools have become ever more popular. More and more South Africans from all walks of life want to enjoy their pools for longer periods throughout the year, and we are happy to help them achieve this goal. We offer top-quality solar panels, combined with the correct installation to maximise its use.

Throughout the years, we have heated thousands of pools of all shapes and sizes, using the celebrated Sun Command solar panel. These panels are manufactured using UV stabilised polypropylene. All seams are thermo-welded and pressure tested to ensure a leak-free and long lasting panel.

Why We Choose Sun Command Solar Panels

Sun Command solar panels come with a 5-year panel warranty, where panels are not merely patched up, but replaced when necessary. These panels are aesthetically pleasing in their solid construction where there are not any unsightly gaps between tubes. What’s more, we are able to customise the panels size to suit your roof’s shape and construction.

As these panels are UV stabilised, they deliver a longer lifespan in the sun. Sun Command panels are also resistant to hail, frost and chemicals, and their auto draining with vacuum breaker helps to prevent freezing.

These are only a few of the many reasons why we recommend using solar panels to heat your swimming pool. To learn more about our products and services, feel free to contact us today. One of our friendly team members are standing by to assist you.
