How Does Solar Pool Heating Work?

Ever wondered How Does Solar Pool Heating Work? Pool water is actually circulated through the collector (sometimes referred to as Pool solar matting) installed on your roof. The water is then heated from the sun’s free energy as it travels through the solar collector and returned to the pool at a higher temperature. The temperature of the pool is set on the controller.
Solar pool heating is the most energy efficient pool heating options available on the market today. The cost of setup is typically less or comparable to installing a pool heat pump. The running costs are far lower as it is using the suns FREE energy to heat your pool.

 

Polar Solar Collector/Matting

The Solar collector (or Solar matting), is the component of the solar pool heating system which collects solar energy. It is a network of pipes that run along your roof and transfers heat from incoming solar radiation into water passing them. Our range of Solar collectors are designed and manufactured in Australia using the latest in pool heating technology. These have a life expectancy of 20 years.

 

 

How Much Solar Do I Need For My Pool?

 

We recommend 100% coverage. This means that you have to match each square meter of your pool’s surface area with the same coverage of solar on the roof. Therefore if your pool’s surface area is 20m2, we advise 20m2 to be installed on your roof. Altogether it will give you 100% coverage, maximising the heat absorption from the sun and ensuring the most efficient heat up time for your pool.
