{"title":"Solar water heaters \u0026 solar panels for pools","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoth solar heaters and solar panels are heating options that use the sun's rays instead of relying on electricity or any form of combustion. Solar panels and solar heaters absorb solar rays to heat the water in the pool, providing you with a warm and pleasant swim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolar heaters, which differ from solar panels, are often placed directly in the water. The unit floats around and, as it absorbs the solar heat that strikes it, warms the pool water to a comfortable temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSolar heaters are convenient\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn undeniable advantage of solar heaters is that they are incredibly easy to handle. For those who want to use solar energy to heat their pool but want to do it easily, solar heaters are often a wise choice. A potential disadvantage, however, is that they have slightly lower efficiency compared to solar panels. This means it may take longer to heat the pool, and it may be harder to get the water as warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSolar panels for the pool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA solar panel can be a perfect addition if you truly want to go \"all-in\" on solar heating for your pool. Solar panels, instead of being placed in the pool, are installed around it to absorb and transfer solar energy to the pool. Ideally, solar panels should be placed on roofs or other exposed surfaces that receive as much sunlight as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSolar panels provide more heat in the pool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA solar panel can effectively add heat to the pool. With enough, and well-placed, solar panels, you can quickly heat your pool to the desired temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing solar heating as a heat source for your pool is often a smart choice, primarily for two reasons: it is economical and it is environmentally friendly. Since you don't need to use electricity to heat the pool, you don't have to worry about any electricity consumption at all. This means you save money on electricity bills, which can often be expensive, while also contributing to the environment. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"planet-pool-solfangare","title":"Planet Pool Solar Collector","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe solar collector's surface area is 3.7m2 and heats your water up to 6 degrees.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo achieve a larger surface area exposed to the sun and heat your pool, multiple sets can be connected in series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Sweden, the sun emits approximately 800 W\/m2\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf this energy, we can utilize about 85%, meaning we have approximately 680 W\/m2 available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo harness this energy, you can easily install a solar collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solar collector can be mounted on the ground or a rooftop; for optimal effect, the solar collector should be mounted facing south and perpendicular to the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo conserve heat, we recommend using a thermal cover when the pool is not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pool's filter capacity should be at least 6m3\/h, but if you mount the solar collector 2 meters above the water surface, at least 8m3\/h is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61x610cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e UV-resistant EPDM rubber\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Planet Pool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711985946859,"sku":"CHE-503010384","price":2149.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4073\/7515\/products\/planet-pool-solfangare-sku-che-503010384-ean-4038755011558-37080360550635.jpg?v=1666866258"}],"url":"https:\/\/villahome.se\/en\/collections\/solvarmare-och-solpanel.oembed","provider":"Villahome.se","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
