Trying to figure out if it is worth it. We are in process of researching a pool, but not sure how the solar helps off-set the cost if the pool/spa heater is gas? From what everyone we have talked with says the new pumps are so efficient they don’t use a lot of electricity. I had thought a pool was expensive, but apparently only if I heat it?
I would really love to embrace alternative energy and think everyone in sunny places should have solar, eventually the economy of scale would make them as realistic for everyone as a normal roof. Unfortunately, it seems it is just some scheme to make money and the installation companies are not out to help me and the environment. Whatever, I am fine with making a buck, but have been unable to really understand the details.
Can anyone explain how it will help off-set the cost of a pool?
