How It Works
Solar pool heating, explained
No electricity, no monthly gas bill — just your existing pool pump and the sun. Here's how the system heats your water, and what it's like to work with us from that first call to swimming warm.
The technology
Simple thermal heating
Solar pool panels don't generate electricity — no inverters, no batteries, nothing tied to your utility bill. They're plumbed into your existing pool equipment, and the sun does the rest.
Water pumps to the roof
Your existing pool pump pushes water through PVC plumbing up to the panels — no extra equipment to run or maintain.
The sun heats it directly
Water flows through black polymer tubes on the roof. Sunlight warms it as it passes through, all day long.
Warm water returns to the pool
Heated water flows back down and mixes into your pool. The cycle repeats on its own, every sunny day.

Don't take our word for it
We log live temperature data from our own pool and spa around the clock, right alongside an unheated control — so every comparison is a real measurement.
FAQ
Common questions
No. Beyond your existing pool pump, nothing else runs. There are no inverters, batteries, or extra equipment — just plumbing up to the roof and back.
Ten to fifteen degrees over an unheated pool is typical for a properly sized system — enough for comfortable swimming from late spring into fall. We publish round-the-clock measurements from our own system on our live data page, so you can see real numbers instead of a promise.
Quotes are usually scheduled within a few days of your call, and installation itself takes one to two days. We'll give you a firm timeline for your specific project during the on-site visit.
Every installation includes a 12-year manufacturer's warranty on the panels and a 1-year warranty on our work. See our warranty page for the full details.
