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 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

It is difficult to give an exact figure of a typical costs of a pool system as they all differ slightly. But as a guide you should be expecting to invest around £9,000 to £15,000 for an indoor or outdoor heated pool.

Though the initial installation may seem expensive, with most pools costing anything from £2,000 - £5,000 per year to run the benefit of up to a 70% reduction in running costs makes solar thermal pool heating seriously tempting.

Support for your solar thermal pool heating

Solar thermal systems are covered by a 1 year installers guarantee and warranties on most products from 5-10 years.

We recommend an annual check up to service your system regularly.
