Solar panels for swimming pools
How does the solar panels system work?In simple terms, special fluid is circulated through the solar panel collectors and then through a purpose built heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is simply integrated into your existing pool pipework. Temperature sensors compare the collector temperature to that of the pool, and allow a pump to transfer heat into the pool water. It's that simple!
What about the UK weather?
Affordable Solar Energy are THE market leaders in supplying ‘cold climate' solar panel energy systems. Our advanced solar systems are designed for OUR climate, and use the very latest technology to provide performance in temperatures as low as -28°C, and even on overcast days. Don't forget, you can sit by your pool on a cloudy day and still get sunburnt!
So what do I do now?
Affordable Solar Energy pool systems are a bespoke product. They are purpose designed to meet YOUR requirements and those of your pool.
How well can solar panels heat your pool?
Solar energy is just another fuel that can heat your pool. A properly designed solar heating system can achieve the same results as other fuels. 65%-75% of annual radiation occurs during the average swimming season - why not utilise it! By heating your pool with solar energy, you will spend more time enjoying it and spend less on your energy bill.
Is a solar heated pool system easy to operate?
Our solar panels pool systems are fully automatic. Temperature sensors compare the collector temperature to the pool temperature and if required allows the pump to transfer solar heat (solar energy) into the pool. It's that simple!
Where are the solar collectors mounted?
We can design a system to suit your surroundings and individual requirements. The solar collectors can be mounted on a roof, the ground and even a flat roof; the possibilities are almost endless! They can also be screened to blend in with your garden environment.
