Total Installation Cost

$4,800

Labor, permits, and kit materials included.

Advanced Financing & Incentives

Add loans, tax credits, and utility rebates.

Cost of Comfort

Traditional heating costs never go away. Solar systems typically pay for themselves within 3–7 years, thereafter providing "free" swimming for the rest of their 15–20 year lifespan.

System Selection

Unglazed: Best for summer pools. Glazed: Best for cold climates or year-round use. Hybrid: Generates both hot water and electricity (PVT).

Thermal Buffering

Adding a solar cover (liquid or blanket) in conjunction with solar panels can reduce night-time heat loss by 50–70%, significantly improving overall ROI.
