If you're a pool owner in Southern California, you already know the dream: sun overhead, sparkling water, and endless swim time. But here’s the reality, most pools sit unused for half the year because the water’s just too cold. What if we told you there’s a better way to extend your swim season without increasing your energy bill?
Welcome to the world of solar pool heating, where the sun does the heavy lifting, and you get to enjoy your pool from spring through fall (and sometimes beyond).
What Is Solar Pool Heating?
Solar pool heating uses the power of the sun to warm your pool water using a system of specially designed solar panels. Here’s how it works:
Water is pumped from your pool to the roof or ground-mounted solar collectors.
The sun heats the water as it circulates through the collectors.
The now-warm water is returned to your pool, ready for swimming.
That’s it. No gas lines, no fossil fuels, no magic, just smart, sustainable science.
Why Solar? Let’s Talk Benefits
1. It’s Practically Free to Operate
Once your system is installed, you’re heating your pool with energy you already get for free—sunshine. Compared to gas or electric heaters, the savings are dramatic.
2. Longer Swim Season = More Value
Think about it: you invested thousands in a beautiful backyard pool. Why let cold water steal half your enjoyment? Solar pool heating adds months of swim time each year.
3. Low Maintenance, High Durability
Our systems are built to last 15–20 years with minimal maintenance. Once it’s set up, you’ll almost forget it’s there—until you realize you haven’t shivered during a swim in months.
4. Eco-Friendly and Title 24 Compliant
With California’s Title 24 regulations now requiring energy-efficient solutions for pools, solar heating checks all the boxes—especially when paired with a heat pump or required on new builds. If you're a builder or homeowner, we can help ensure your system is compliant and cost-effective.
