Solar Pool Pump System Cost

For an effective solar pool heating system you need a total amount of solar panels equal to half the size of your pool.

Solar pool pump system cost.

I had the sunray solar pump system 3 panels and pool pump installed last summer and am now saving on the average 75 00 a month on electricity. A solar pool heating system usually costs between 3 000 and 4 000 to buy and install. Solar panels take up a lot of space. The system effectively operates my hayward navigator pool sweep in a 12 000 gallon pool.

Solar pool pumps are relatively affordable costing between 250 and 750 typically. This provides a payback of between 1 5 and 7 years depending on your local fuel costs. Installing the solar panel component is however more expensive and can set you back 1 500 to 4 000 depending on the number of panels the difficulty of the installation and your location. While the initial cost might be a bit more the solar panels will power more than just your pool pump and will continue to produce.

If you are truly interested in eliminating your pool pumping costs we recommend that you pair a variable speed pump with a small traditional grid interactive solar electricity system or photovoltaic pv system. They also typically last longer than gas and heat pump pool heaters.
