Question Pool solar heating?

Anyone recommend a company in the San Diego area. Does anyone have pool solar heating, and feel it was worth the money?

Re: Pool solar heating?

Im in the Solar Industry... Primarily the Photovoltaic solar, not solar thermal. The thermal systems are only effective if they have a high efficiency low power consumption pump to run the water. Most of the time we're taking those systems off roofs because of lack of use, or because they fail and we put up our Photovoltaic systems. IMO its not the most productive way to heat the water, because what you save in gas to heat the water, you spend in pumping the water up to your roof and back in electricity.
