2. How many Solar Panels to
heat a Pool?
• People build house pools because they want to enjoy the
possibility of having a swim whenever they want. The problem is
that, sometimes, the unfriendly weather makes the water so
cold, you cannot dip a finger in it. A solution would be a pool
heating system, but the costs are far from appealing. However,
there is a method of heating the pool without paying thousands
of dollars: it’s free, it’s eco friendly, and it works even in the most
Nordic areas. We are talking about solar heating systems.
• Once you install solar panels to heat the water in your pool,
there are no other expenses. The panels will collect solar
energy during the daytime and use it to heat your pool. So, as
long as you are enjoying direct sunlight, solar panels will
continue to maintain a proper pool temperature.

3. Solar pool heating system efficiency
• Before you get started, there are some things you should know about the
performance of a solar pool heating system. First, you have to remember that
solar panels do not produce energy at night. Therefore, what has been heated
during the day tends to become cold again at night. One solution to this problem
would be to buy a pool cover, and use it during the night. The cover will maintain
the water temperature, so that you can enjoy warm pool water even in the
mornings.
• Another thing that could influence the performance of the solar heating systems
is shading.
• Weather and climate are other factors to be considered. If you live in a cold
climate area, the water tends to cool off very fast.
• However, the most important variable is insulation. No matter where you live, if
you enjoy many hours of sun per day, a solar heating system is for you.

4. How to calculate the number of
necessary solar panels
• All the variables that have been mentioned above could affect, one
way or the other, the number of necessary solar panels. As a rule of
common sense, the larger the pool, the more solar panels you need.
The size of the solar panel and the watts it produces can also
influence this calculus.
• However, to make an approximation, 2 average size panels should
be enough to heat a pool of less than 35000 – 40000 liters. If your
pool has between 35000-50000 liters, you might need 3-4 panels.
Large pool that have between 50000-70000 liters need about 5-6
panels.
