It starts on your roof
How solar pool heating works
Your pool pump sends water up to black solar pool panels on the roof. The sun warms it on the way across, and it comes back down into the pool a little warmer every pass, all day, on its own.
-
01The pump
Cool water goes up
The pool pump you already own sends water through the filter and up to the roof. No new motor, no gas line.
-
02The panels
In cool, out warm
Inside every panel the water spreads through hundreds of small tubes and soaks up the sun's heat, the way a garden hose left out in the yard does. No fuel burned, nothing metered.
-
03Back down
Warm water comes down
A second pipe carries it back to the pool, a little warmer every pass, all day long.
-
04The controller
Smart enough to leave it alone
You set the pool temperature you want once, like a thermostat. The controller sends water up while the sun can add heat and stops when the pool gets there. Nothing to remember.
The result
Swim from March into November
On its own, a pool around here is comfortable from June to September. Heated by the sun all day and covered at night, it's March into November — twice the swim season, none of the gas.
The sun puts the heat in. A blanket at night keeps it in. Our numbers count on both. Weather permitting, of course — every pool and every year runs a little different.

Typical for a properly sized system — your roof, your pool and the weather set the real numbers. Weighing it up? Read why solar pool heating is worth it, and when it isn't.
Before & after
The same roof, before and after
One recent job from the air — the bare shingle roof before we started, and the finished solar pool heating array once the crew wrapped up.
