Why Many Orlando Residents Choose to Have Solar Pool Heater Panels Installed

Solar pool heater panels can be found on an ever-growing number of homes in the Orlando area of Florida. That’s because, increasingly, pool owners are beginning to appreciate the advantages of not just heating a pool but doing so with the aid of solar energy. Unlike conventional pool heaters that require gas or electricity – and the high energy costs they require – solar pool heaters only require the free energy of the sun to do their thing. Solar pool heating panels can be an especially good investment in Orlando, FL, a city that enjoys nearly 250 sunny days a year. Beyond the cost of the system and having it installed, there are virtually no operating costs associated with solar pool heater usage and maintenance expenses are nominal.

How Do Solar Pool Heater Panels Work?

Solar pool heating panels closely resemble photovoltaic solar panels that are used to generate electricity. Both are flat, rectangular, typically roof mounted, and colored black to absorb more sunlight. However, solar pool heating panels contain an array of polypropylene veins through which pool water travels. As pool water is pumped through the panels, heat is transferred from the polypropylene veins to the water. You have likely experienced a similar phenomenon with a garden hose that’s been left to sit in the sun. The water inside the hose turns warm as a result of the hose itself having prolonged exposure to solar energy. The most common type of solar pool heater features roof-mounted solar energy collection panels, discussed above, along with the following: • Filter – A filter is necessary for removing any debris that might otherwise clog the collectors. • Pump – A pump is required for physically moving the pool water through the filter, through the collectors, and back to the pool again. • Flow control valve – The job of a flow control valve is to divert pool water so that it travels through the solar pool heating system while it is turned on.

Tony, the technician/plumber from Florida Energy Water & Air, was most pleasant, knowledgeable, professional. He arrived on completed the replacement of very old water heater including nearly 100% disappearance of the "knocking noise" in less than an hour, and cleaned up the work area very nicely at the end. I highly recommend his and FEWA to anyone needing these kind of services. Thanks Tony!

My experience with the team at Florida Energy Water & Air has been very positive throughout the whole process. I purchased the water treatment and air purification systems for my new home. Jack, the sales representative, did a very impressive job making the 2-hour demo fun, engaging, and interesting. I had no idea how much time had passed until it was over because he did such a great job keeping my attention. The installation was performed by Robenson a few hours later that same day! He was very professional and did a great job with the installation. I wasn’t a big fan of drilling a hole through my garage to run the water pipe, but he made the hole as small as possible and it looks like the house was built that way. He and his partner did a great job cleaning up after themselves. Finally, John was very friendly, professional, informative, and helpful during the post-installation quality inspection. Overall, it has been a very positive experience.
