Bobby Said:

can I heat my pool (900sqft) by solar power?

We Answered:

Yes U can. Solar heaters come large, small, industrial use or hook up several in series or just do it yourself. Build a large box to fit on roof of your house or garage from galvanised or stainless metal that reflects heat, then inside line large copper tubing; pipes along side forming a bend of 4 inches each end from the top of UR box to the bottom, then a thinner section of narrow copper pipes, half and half into a copper or stainless tank and insulate the tank to keep the water hot. The beginning is hooked up to the water supply; the tank end is the out let to tap for hot water
By the way for a big pool; you'll need a lot of copper pipes, that will be expensive but will heat the pool when its sunny, but tough luck if you cop a wet season, You'll have to wait for a dry season but if you consult your local plumber he'll show you what’s on the market readily available; another device would be a lot of solar panels to drive a series of batteries to hook up to a 250 volt inverter to run a pool heater which is slow to heat where the copper pipe and tank unit heats better. Several units that will cost you thousands, A welding shop can fabricate something' cheaper if you get the right plumber. If you can weld and braze you can make one yourself where the copper pipes are heated by sun and produce sizzling hot water but if you got the dollars its expensive but will save you heaps in electricity later. Don't forget wind power is much stronger energy to produce electricity to power pool heaters other wise a lot of solar cells will be needed and that's too expensive; it’s the rectifier that will burst your wallet. So contact your electrician or plumber what’s on the market or simply do it yourself
