Anyone who has had their triumphant splash into the pool ruined by unexpected hardware malfunctions or technological breakdowns knows the importance of quality and reliability when designing your pool’s systems and functions. If you have – or are thinking about having – a pool on your property, read on to find out why solar heating may be a good fit for you!
Last-minute pool maintenance can throw a wrench into your plans, so we’ve put together this post to help make your swimming season easier, longer, more enjoyable, and less expensive.
Solar pool heating systems offer substantial operational, economic and environmental benefits for any home or business owner with a pool on their property. Below are our top five reasons to install a Solcan Solar Pool Heating System.
1. Extend Your Swimming Season
Start swimming earlier in the spring and end your season later in the fall.
2. Save on Pool Heating Costs
Once your system is installed, you can say goodbye to your seasonal pool heating bills!
3. Solar Equipment is Durable
On average, solar pool heating systems last twice as long as traditional pool heating systems.
4. Solar Requires Less Maintenance
The same regular technical maintenance associated with traditional pool heating systems isn’t necessary with solar. Real-time panel production data can be monitored by the system owner and its installer.
5. Good for the Environment
Replacing propane or natural gas pool heating systems with solar energy saves 3-10 tons per swimming season.
Due to the simple designs and components of solar pool heating systems, they have a reputation for durability and consistency. In addition to the systems generally lasting 10-20 years longer than conventional pool heating systems, manufacturers of solar components also tend to have longer and more extensive warranties for their products.
The other bonus is that once you’ve made the initial investment in the system and installation – you will never again pay an energy bill to heat your pool. A solar pool heating system has a quick return on investment and will save you money in perpetuity.

Solar heating systems also offset the greenhouse gases emitted when using traditional methods such as propane, natural gas, or electricity. These gases are contributing to global climate change, and their emissions must be dramatically reduced within 12 years to stem off the worst effects of our warming planet. Each swimming season, your solar pool heating system would save the approximate CO2 equivalent of one year’s worth of driving.
Another great thing about solar tech is the ability to monitor and control detailed aspects of your pool environment. Brands like Hayward integrate flawlessly with solar pool heating systems and allow you to personalize your experience.
