The Highest and Best Use of Solar Thermal Energy!
How much will I save in fossil fuel or electricity cost each year with a multi purpose solar pool heating system?
An average 16' X 32' pool in the Northeast will save close to $3,000 dollars in fossil fuel or electricity cost each year.
The larger the pool, the bigger the savings!
A Multipurpose Solar Pool Heating System for
a 16' X 32' Pool Provides:
1. 100% of your outdoor Pool Heating May 1st through October 1st.
2. Over 90% of your Domestic Hot Water Heating (showers, cooking, laundry etc.)
3. 35 to 75% of your Fall, Winter and Spring Space Heating depending on the size of your home/business and heat loss.
Why is a solar multipurpose pool heating the highest and best use of solar thermal energy?
1. Average return on investment (ROI) of five years.
2. It cost less than five dollars a month to heat a pool and domestic hot water with solar energy.
3. Solar multi-purpose pool heating systems qualify for all State and Federal installation tax credits and grants.
4. The additional solar panels needed for solar pool heating in the summer months can be used for domestic hot water and space heating in the fall, winter and spring months when your pool is closed.
5. In many applications the solar panels can be ground mounted by the pool reducing the installation cost.
Who can benefit from solar pool heating?
Hotels, motels, apartment complexes, country clubs, see below
Any home or business with a pool and a domestic hot water or fall, winter and spring space heating load.
Any home or business that uses fossil fuels for heating both domestic hot water and fall, winter and spring space heating.
An average 16' X 32' pool requires eight 4' X 8' panels to heat your pool to a comfortable level May 1st through October 1st. Eight panels heating hot water for a family of three when your pool is closed is an enormous hot water heating machine. These panels will significantly reduce your fossil fuel or electricity consumption during the entire year.
Know the Facts!
Many people in the North East use a heat pump or fossil fuel to heat their pool.
*Please see our solar pool flyer below that will show you how a solar pool system is less expensive than using different forms of fossil fuels to heat your pool.
1. Heat pumps use electricity generated from fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.
2. Heating a 16' X 32' pool with a heat pump or fossil fuel could cost close to $2,000 dollars a year or more at today's energy prices.
3. Fossil fuel heating devices and heat pumps for pools will last less than ten years and are costly to replace and service.
4. A solar pool system will last 30 plus years and is inexpensive to service and maintain.
