    I did look at them and they are INSANELY expensive for what you get. I think alternate heating systems are probably in order, like water-cooling a/c condensers rather than air cooling them and using the pool water for the cooling.

    I like the idea but the cost and the risk is too high for me.

    We installed Geo-Thermal heating/cooling in our new house. I talked with them about using it to heat the pool. It could be done. For an extra $8,000. Wasn't worth it for a 21' AG. I did see somewhere(here?) where someone put in a small Geo-Thermal like system just for the pool. I have no natural gas supply to my house so my option is electrical or non-electrical. I need something because the water's ~80F when the air is nice enough to swim. We don't get to use the pool enough because of this.

    Yup, those are pretty standard looking solar panels.
