A solar water heating system is an excellent way to heat a swimming pool.
For people who choose a renewable energy source to help run there homes or business can benefit from the newly introduced Feed in tariff
Feed in tariff for your swimming pool from the 1st of April 2011, 60% off the bill of heating your swimming pool! This opportunity can not be missed!
Installation and Commissioning
It usually takes 3-4 days for our team of engineers to install and commission a LaZer2 solar hot water system. If it is a large system or the installation is complex it may take longer. Fitting a system causes minimal disruption. Your pool heating system will normally be switched off for just one day. Our engineers will always spend time with you to explain the functionality and operation of the components installed.
Solar Collectors
A southerly-facing pitched roof or wall, or a flat roof, on purpose made freestanding frames placed on the ground – are ideal locations for solar collectors to be sited. Collectors can be installed on an east or west-facing but the total collector area will need to be increased to compensate for the lower energy levels.
Shading, aesthetics, roof condition and accessibility will all be considered when selecting a position for the solar collectors.
Once the pool’s energy demand has been estimated (based on pool design, operating temperatures, usage and location) and the collector location identified, the number of collectors required can be specified. As there is a fixed amount of solar energy available to the collectors, the larger the collector area the more energy will be absorbed.
If the area of collectors installed is too small they will not be able to heat the pool to a usable temperature. If the area of collectors installed is too large, not all of the energy available will be used and therefore part of your investment will be wasted.
