HOW IT WORKS
Our solar pool heating systems use a series of solar collectors installed on your roof or another sunny location. Water from your pool is pumped through these collectors, where it is warmed by the sun before returning to your pool. This process efficiently maintains your desired pool temperature without relying on costly fossil fuels.

TESTIMONIALS
Hear from our satisfied customers and why they choose SolarTech for their solar pool heating services.
"I have been dealing with Solar Tech for over 3 years since they installed our pool heating system. They have always been prompt. However, they went above and beyond when the board in my Pentair system stopped operating the solar valve. They could have just punted me to Pentair but instead helped me utilize a working valve port and reassigned the solar to that port saving me a ton of money. Great outfit, I highly recommend them."
Satisfied Customer
"Excellent services no upsell I could not figure out if my solar pool system was working I didn’t need repairs just advice after calling a couple other “repair” companies who wanted to seek me a new system I called SolarTech. Greg knew exactly what was needed I now know how to determine if the system is working and make temp changes. Again: EXCELLENT service."
Satisfied Customer
"Bucky was very knowledgeable. He and his team were quick and efficient installing our new pool solar system. We highly recommend them if you are looking for solar solutions! The system is low profile and placed in the back and side of the house, maintaining our curb appeal."

Solar pool heating systems work by circulating pool water through a solar collector where it’s warmed by the sun before returning to your pool. The system typically includes a solar collector (panels mounted on your roof or nearby ground), a filter to remove debris, a pump to circulate water, and a flow control valve. At SolarTech, we install complete systems with high-quality components that efficiently capture solar energy to maintain comfortable swimming temperatures. In warmer climates, the same system can even cool your pool during peak summer months by circulating water through the collectors at night.
A typical solar pool heating system costs between $4,500 to $12,000 on average, depending on system specifics. SolarTech offers competitive pricing with flexible financing options to make solar pool heating accessible. The investment typically provides a payback period of 1–7 years, depending on your local fuel costs and available solar resource. Solar pool heaters also generally last longer (10–20 years) than gas or heat pump pool heaters, making them a cost-effective long-term solution for pool heating.
Solar pool heating can work effectively in most regions, including SolarTech’s service areas across California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado. Even if you don’t live in a consistently sunny climate like the Southwest, your property may still have adequate solar resources for pool heating. Solar systems use both direct and diffuse solar radiation, making them viable in various climates. The key factors are having an unshaded area that generally faces south and properly sizing the system for your specific location. Our experienced team can perform a solar site analysis to determine if your property is suitable.
Solar pool heating systems require minimal maintenance when properly installed by SolarTech’s certified professionals. The most important factor is maintaining your pool’s chemical balance and regular filtering system checks. In dry climates, glazed collectors may occasionally need cleaning if rainwater doesn’t provide a natural rinse. With proper care, your solar pool heating system can operate efficiently for 10–20 years. SolarTech offers comprehensive maintenance services and support to ensure optimal system performance throughout its lifespan.
The solar collector size typically should equal 50–100% of your pool’s surface area, depending on your climate and desired swimming season. In cooler or cloudier regions, you may need a larger collector area relative to your pool size.
For example, a 15×30-foot pool in a warm climate like Southern California might require about 60–70% of the pool’s surface area in collectors for a 6–8 month swimming season. Using a pool cover can reduce the required collector size.
SolarTech’s experienced solar contractors will analyze factors like pool size, local climate, desired water temperature, and site conditions to recommend the optimal system size for your specific needs.
