POOL HEATING
Pools are a great way to cool down during the summer, but during the winter, pool owners may spend a lot of money heating their pools to swimmable temperatures. If you have a pool, but the cost to keep it heated is not cost effective, then you should consider renewable energy options for heating. While the sun does passively heat your pool, solar pool heaters make it possible to save money, while extending the pool season.
Solar pool heaters use thermal energy from the sun to warm your pool water. Similar to solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, solar energy collectors are typically mounted on your roof. Water from your pool is pumped through a filter and up to the solar collectors on your roof. Solar collectors look similar to PV panels, but they act similarly to a vehicles radiator, as the collector allows pool water to circulate throughout its interior as it adsorbs heat.
Automated sensors are utilized to detect the temperature of the water coming from the solar collectors, as compared to the desired temperature. If the pool water is cool and it’s sunny out, the flow control valve will divert water through the solar collectors to be heated before entering your pool. Alternatively, if your pool is too hot, the control valves ensure that the solar collectors hot water does not enter your pool.
Heating a pool with solar energy is eco-friendly and it saves you money because you’ll be relying on free energy from the sun, instead of using gas or electric to heat your pool.
SOLAR HEATING
Use the Sun to Heat your Pool
With electricity rates increasing over the last 10 years,4 going solar just makes financial sense. intelligently and remotely optimizes your solar battery to maximize savings using proprietary software.
Depending on your utility’s rate structure, can offset energy costs when electricity rates are at their peak. And in a blackout, your offers a sustainable power source so you don’t have to spend on unruly and expensive generators.
Uninterrupted Power
A solar storage system provides reliable power, even through a blackout. In the event of an outage, your batteries kick in and provide the power that was stored throughout the day
Energy Monitoring
You can monitor your system at any time and to ensure that your solar panels are operating at their optimal efficiency
Guaranteed Lower Rate
Control systems (like those outfitted with the Tesla's Powerwall) provide electricity during peak demand times, which protects you from high tier electrical rates
FAQ
Batteries stores energy to provide reliable backup when the sun isn’t shining or in the event of an outage. However, one Brightbox battery system can’t store enough solar power to supply your home’s entire electricity consumption for approximately 8 to 12 hours, which is why you have to stay connected to the electric grid.
Just like solar panels, the size of your Brightbox Solar Battery Storage Service is determined by your unique energy needs and habits. Factors such as the amount of electricity you use at home and the devices and appliances you want to back up will play a key role when selecting the right battery storage solution for you.
The installation of Brightbox is a relatively simple process. It’s about the size of a water heater, and the system is mounted on a wall, usually inside your garage or outside of your home.
Brightbox solar battery storage system saves you money on utility bills, protects your home from power outages, and reduces your carbon footprint by supporting the production of clean, renewable energy.
