Solar pool heating systems in Central Florida. We install and repair collectors and controls. Licensed since 1999. Free estimate.
Solar pool heating works differently from the photovoltaic panels you might have seen on roofs. Instead of generating electricity, solar collectors absorb heat from the sun and transfer it to your pool water. The system includes collectors, usually mounted on your roof or a nearby structure, plus a control valve and plumbing that circulates water through the collectors and back to your pool. When the sun heats the collectors, your pool gets warmer. AllSolar Energy has been installing and servicing solar pool heating systems in Central Florida since 1999.
We're licensed and insured. We evaluate your pool, roof space, and existing equipment, then design a system sized for your pool. We handle the installation, permits, inspections, and testing. If your previous solar pool heating system isn't working, we repair it or rebuild it. Call for a free estimate.
Solar collectors are typically dark, flat panels or tube arrays mounted on a south-facing roof or rack. Water from your pool pump circulates through these collectors, absorbs heat from the sun, and returns to the pool. A control valve and sensor manage when water flows through the collectors—usually during sunny hours. On cloudy days or at night, the system stops circulation to avoid heat loss.
Your pool size, how often you use it, and how warm you want the water all determine the number of collectors you need. Roof space, roof pitch, and sun exposure matter too. Northern and central exposures work better than west-facing roofs. The installation cost includes the collectors, plumbing connections, control equipment, mounting hardware, and permits.
We mount the collectors, run plumbing connections to your pool pump, install the control valve and sensor, and test the whole system. Permits and inspections are handled as part of the job. Once installed, solar pool heating systems need occasional cleaning and occasional check-ups on the valve and connections.
Call or send the form and we'll take a look — usually same week.
It depends on your collectors' size, how much sun your roof gets, how often you run the pump, and the time of year. We discuss realistic expectations during the estimate based on your actual situation.
Solar collectors work on sunny winter days, but less effectively than summer because the sun is lower and days are shorter. Many pool owners use solar heating in spring through fall, then switch to a backup heater or close the pool in winter.
We diagnose the problem. It might be a stuck valve, a leak, a sensor issue, or damaged collectors. Some repairs are simple; others require collector replacement. We explain what's wrong and what it takes to fix it.
No. We install the collectors and plumbing while your pool is in use. We make the connections to your existing pump and filter system. You keep using the pool during the installation.
