The system effectively operates my hayward navigator pool sweep in a 12 000 gallon pool.
Solar pool pump system cost.
Solar panels take up a lot of space.
Despite being marketed as free heating solar pool heaters still incur the cost of electricity for running the pump powering the system.
If your system is very large or installed far from the pool installation costs can be much higher up to around 1 000 for extremely large intricate.
For an effective solar pool heating system you need a total amount of solar panels equal to half the size of your pool.
A solar powered pool heater effectively pays for itself over the course of 1 5 to 7 years.
Electric and gas powered systems require energy to power the pool pump filter and the heating elements of the system.
1hp solar pool pump up to 100gpm 50ft head 90vdc brush type motor very quiet running motor use 2 solar panels 60vdc wired in series for small above ground pool or ponds for 500 5 000 gallons water filtration to 3 solar panels 90vdc wired in series for up to 3 000 25 000 gallon ingrond pool for filtration.
If you are truly interested in eliminating your pool pumping costs we recommend that you pair a variable speed pump with a small traditional grid interactive solar electricity system or photovoltaic pv system.
While the initial cost might be a bit more the solar panels will power more than just your pool pump and will continue to produce.
