Solar heating for your swimming pool          One of the most cost-effective, fun and enjoyable uses of solar energy is a solar pool heating system      

A solar pool heater allows you to extend your family's swimming season and gives you more control over your swimming pool's water temperature. A solar pool heating system has a payback period of three to four years and can dramatically reduce or eliminate the rising monthly gas bills by heating your pool with free, abundant energy from the Southern California sun.

     Solar-Tec Systems, Inc. is a Solar Swimming Pool Heating Contractor that specializes in the design and installation of residential and commercial solar swimming pool heating systems installations in Orange County, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, California.

     You bought your pool for enjoyment, entertaining and possibly for health reasons. But you probably find that on many days when you would like to use your pool it is just too cold for comfort. Whether for recreation or relaxation, a comfortable pool is a great gathering place for family and friends. A solar energy pool panel heating system can make your pool warmer, more comfortable and it will add months to your Southern California swimming season. That means you can spend more time in your pool. More relaxation, more exercise and more fun! 

 

Solar Swimming Pool Heating Systems are today the largest use of solar energy in the world and there are several good reasons for this.

  • Savings:   The first cost of a solar energy pool panel heating system for larger in-ground pools may equal or exceed those of other heaters.  However, they return the cost difference in fuel savings in the first year or two.  You will always save money when you heat your Southern California pool with solar panel pool heating system.

  • Reliability and safety: Solar pool heating systems have no heat exchangers that fail from corrosion, no fan motors or compressors to break down.  Your investment in a solar energy heating panel system is protected by a ten year warranty.  No other heating system offers that protection. 

  • Protect the environment: You can enjoy the comfort of your solar heated pool, knowing that you are using an environmentally friendly energy source, while you conserve our natural resources.

      

How a Solar Pool Heating System works?

  1. Pool pump moves the water to the solar collectors
  2. Cool water enters the solar collector from the bottom.
  3. Water is heated as it flows upwards through the collector tubes to the top header pipe.
  4. The warm water is then returned to your pool.
  5. This process continues until the desired water temperature is reached.

A solar pool heating system is simple to operate and requires no change in the way you maintain standard pool equipment. The diagram below shows the components of a typical solar pool heater system:

  • Black plastic panels capture the energy from the sun and use it to heat the water in your pool. Using the pump from your filtration system, water is circulated through the solar panels where it is heated and then returned to the pool. The system is designed to work with your existing pump, which need not necessarily be situated near the solar panels.

  • A valve, either manual or automatic, controls the flow of water in the solar panels. The automatic option responds to changing temperature conditions and adjusts accordingly to provide optimal comfort at all times.

  • As with any heated pool, the use of a solar cover is always recommended – a practice which actually allows you to swim earlier and later in the season, thereby extending your swimming season.

     These Solar-Tec Systems, Inc. installed Roof Mounted Solar Pool Heating System Prices are assuming that the solar pool heating array would be mounted on a first story asphalt shingle roof and the solar supply and return piping run from solar pool heating collectors to the swimming pool pumping equipment is 25 ft. or less.

    Solar-Tec Systems, Inc. installs the Techno-Solis Solar Pool Panels which combines use a combination of the very highest quality Polypropylene, Carbon Black, and non-depleting UV Stabilizers to guarantee an efficient and durable panel.

 Techno-Solis Solar Pool Heating Panel Features:

Most pool heating panels are designed to be repaired...Techno-Solis panels are designed to last.

The majority of solar pool heaters are designed with "individual" round flow tubes so that if a tube leaks it can easily be plugged. Some manufacturers even state in their warranty that a damaged system will be repaired if possible. In most cases a "repair" is nothing more than a plug. The problem with this is that a plugged panel is much less efficient or effective at heating your pool.

Another problem with the design of most solar pool heating systems is that the shape and thickness of the flow tube walls do not allow for prolonged expansion or contraction that occurs during seasonal temperature changes or extreme weather such as freezing.

Techno-Solis' patented flat panel design is proven to be more Efficient and more Durable than other solar pool heaters.

Techno-Solis Advantages

The Techno-Solis panel has been imitated over and over again, but our quality has never been duplicated. Our system has a patented design which will reliably heat your pool to a comfortable swimming temperature without increasing your utility bills.

Other panels can cool rapidly during windy conditions because the individual flow tubes aren’t insulated by each other.

Techno-Solis flow tubes are connected for insulation so that they stay warm longer. This patented design also allows our panels to withstand freezing conditions better than collectors with round flow tubes that cannot expand or change shape.

Techno-Solis collectors contain 35% more polypropylene and UV stabilizers than any other panel. This means that our panels have a much longer life expectancy than the competition. In fact, our panels are so well built that they can withstand the strength of a 150 mph hurricane

Once our panels are installed, there is no additional maintenance or cost involved. You just sit back and relax in your refreshingly warm swimming pool. For added peace of mind, we back all of our systems up with the longest and most comprehensive warranty in the industry.

Here’s why:  Absorb more heat
Techno-Solis collectors are visibly thicker than any other pool heating collector because we use up to 35% more raw materials in our panels. This attracts more heat.

Reduce heat loss better Techno-Solis flow tubes are connected so that they stay warm longer. Other panels can cool rapidly during windy conditions because the "individual" flow tubes aren’t insulated by each other.

Last longer  The extra material in our panels allows for greater expansion and contraction, provides extra UV protection and prevents weak spots.

Prevent freeze damage (covered under warranty)
Because water expands by approximately 9% when turning to ice, the strain put on a solar panel's flow channel can be devastating. Techno-Solis pool heaters, however, are designed to withstand internal freezing better than any other panel on the market today. As the picture to the right illustrates, the 2 keys to our durability are the thickness of our panels and the shape of the flow channels.

To get the full benefits of a solar energy pool heating system you must have roof area for the solar pool heating panels that is large enough and has the proper exposure to the sun. The solar panel area required will depend on the surface area of your swimming pool, the water temperature you wish to maintain your pool at, the amount of direct sunshine on your pool and the orientation of the solar pool heating panels.  

Additional solar panels are recommended when one of the following conditions exist: 

  • The solar panel will be installed facing due east or due west.

  •  

  • The pool or panel area will be 25% or more shaded.

  •  

  • The site has a higher amount of average wind.

  •  

  • You simply want a very warm pool.
