A heat pump uses electricity to transfer heat from the air. Solar collectors transfer sunlight’s heat to circulating water, while the circulation pump still consumes electricity.
Decide what matters to your household
Seasonal swimming and a fixed year-round temperature are different goals. Solar output varies with weather, so discuss your expectations before removing existing equipment.
Check the available roof space
Look at sun exposure and shade from trees or nearby structures. Pool dimensions and the proposed route of pipework also influence a solar layout.
