How can solar photovoltaic’s help me reduce my swimming pool running costs?
Solar generation can power the filtration and heat pump in real-time. In the case of a swimming pool, the dynamics are not much different from a home.
As your solar PV is producing energy, the heat pump and filtration is drawing it. So its neatly matched. In the winter, either way, the amount of energy use in the home is higher – but usually, the filtration might be running for an hour or two still. In the shoulder months of spring and autumn, the solar is still working well, the pool may not be running, and home consumption might match solar generation for a time – if that is the design objective.
