Considering a move from heat pump to solar?
Compare your swimming needs with what roof-mounted solar collectors can offer.
Two different sources of heat
A heat pump transfers warmth from surrounding air using electricity. Solar pool collectors absorb sunlight directly into circulating water. Neither is the same as rooftop photovoltaic electricity generation.
Start with how you use the pool
Solar heating is weather-dependent. If you need a fixed temperature through cold, cloudy periods, discuss those expectations before changing equipment.
Assess the roof and circulation
Usable sunny roof space and the existing pipework help determine whether a solar installation is suitable. Photos and pool dimensions are useful starting points.
GridFree’s service focus
Our advertised services are solar pool heating panel supply, installation, repair and replacement. Contact us about a solar option; this page does not offer heat pump installation or electrical repair.
