Delving Deeper into Solar Pool Heaters in California: Understanding the Details of Solar Pool Heaters in California
In a previous discussion, we addressed some common queries regarding solar pool heaters. We have received more questions and wish to address them in this blog post. If you have any further queries, you can always reach out to The Stanley Louis Company at 800-217-6527.
Understanding the Installation Procedure
The time required for the installation of a solar pool heater can vary, typically ranging from one to three days, depending on several factors. For instance, larger systems demand more time for installation. Certain types of roofs may also necessitate additional work. If trenching or concrete tasks are involved, the process may extend over the estimated time. However, we provide an honest assessment when offering you an estimate.
Is a Solar Water Heater Sufficient to Keep My Pool Warm?
While this query may seem simple, it holds relevance. The fact is that during spring, summer, and fall, a suitably sized solar water heater is likely sufficient to maintain your pool temperature between 78 and 85F. From November to March, though the pool may be warmer than it would be without a heater, it might not stay within this temperature range consistently.
You can maximize the heating efficiency by opting for a pool heater that minimizes nighttime heat loss. You can also select solar panels capable of functioning during cooler months or include an electric backup model.
What is the Lifespan of Solar Pool Heating Panels?
Several factors influence the lifespan of solar pool heating panels. On average, these panels should last for decades, and in certain cases, even longer. Some solar pool systems installed as far back as the 1970s are still operational today. When selecting your pool heater, we will discuss its expected lifespan with you.
Will There Be More Efficient Solar Panels Available in the Near Future?
If you’re holding off on investing in solar panels in the hope of more efficient options becoming available, it’s worth noting that the efficiency of solar panels used for pool heating hasn’t seen significant improvements in over 25 years. Most of them operate with about 90% efficiency. Therefore, waiting for a better alternative may not be the best move.
