Solar Heating

26/4/2025

 
To determine the appropriate size for a solar pool heating system, you'll need to consider your pool's surface area, the desired temperature increase, and the location's climate. A general rule is that the solar panel surface area should be at least half, and up to the full, surface area of the pool. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  1. 1. Calculate Pool Surface Area:
    Multiply the length and width of your pool to find the square meters.
  2.  Determine Desired Temperature Increase:
    Consider the average temperature in your area and the desired pool temperature.
  3. Consider Location and Climate:
    Cloudier or colder areas may require a larger solar panel surface area.
  4. Factor in Wind and Pool Features:
    Wind and pool features like fountains can affect heat transfer, so consider these factors when sizing your system.
  5. Consider a Heat Pump:
    For more consistent heating, especially in colder climates, a heat pump can be a good option.

Example:
If you have a 5m x 3m pool (15m² surface area), a general rule of thumb suggests you'll need at least 7.5m² of solar panels (15m² / 2). However, for a cooler climate or if you want to extend the swimming season, you might need closer to 15m² of solar panels.

Important Considerations:
  • Roof Orientation:
    A North-facing roof is ideal for solar panel placement in the Southern Hemisphere. 
  • Shade:
    Minimize shading on your solar panels for optimal performance. 
  • Distance to Pump:
    Keep the distance between the solar panels and the pool pump as short as possible to minimize pipe losses. 
  • Pool Cover:
    Using a solar cover on your pool can significantly reduce heat loss and increase the efficiency of your solar heating system.
