Pool Solar Panels

Solar pool heating in Central Florida. AllSolar Energy installs and repairs pool solar heating systems. Licensed contractor since 1999. Free estimates.

Heating your pool with electricity costs money every month. Solar pool heating lets you warm your pool with the sun instead. A solar pool heating system is usually simpler than a photovoltaic installation—it uses collectors to heat water that flows through your existing pool circulation pump. AllSolar Energy installs and services solar pool heating systems throughout Central Florida.

We've been installing and repairing residential solar systems, including pool heating, since 1999. As a licensed and insured Florida contractor, we'll assess your pool setup, design a system that fits your needs, handle permits and installation, and make sure everything works before we leave. Your free estimate includes a full site review and honest advice about what makes sense for your pool.

How solar pool heating works

Water from your existing pool pump flows through solar collectors mounted on a roof or ground frame, gets heated by the sun, and flows back to your pool. A simple control system manages the process. On cloudy days or at night, the system bypasses the collectors and your pool temperature gradually cools. No complex equipment or separate pump needed.

What affects the cost and design

Pool size, desired temperature, location and sun exposure, and your existing circulation pump all factor in. Larger pools and pools in shade need bigger systems. We'll size the system during your estimate. Roof collectors are most common, but we can also do ground mounts if your property allows it.

Installation and ongoing care

Installation typically takes two to five days depending on system size and roof work. Permitting is required. After installation, the system needs minimal maintenance—occasional collector cleaning and checking circulation lines. We can set up annual inspections to make sure everything stays in good shape.

Pool Solar Panels: common questions

How warm does solar pool heating actually get?

Solar heating typically raises water temperature 6 to 15 degrees over ambient, depending on system size, sun exposure, and season. Larger systems heat faster. In summer, most pools stay comfortably warm. In winter, you get extended season but not constant 85-degree water.

Do I need a permit for solar pool heating?

Most Florida counties require electrical and plumbing permits for solar pool heating installation. AllSolar handles permitting as part of the job. Requirements vary by county and the specifics of your installation.

What happens to my pool heating on cloudy days or at night?

On cloudy days, heating slows significantly because less sun reaches the collectors. At night, the system is shut off and your pool cools gradually. You can use a pool cover to reduce heat loss overnight.

How long does solar pool heating installation take?

On-site installation typically takes two to five days depending on system size, roof configuration, and whether electrical or plumbing work is needed. Permitting adds several weeks to the overall timeline.
