I have been trying to learn a little more about solar options and have a couple of basic questions.

Can you use PV solar panels to heat your pool? I guess I thought that you either had a PV system that generates electricity that can create units that can be sold or you have a "water heating" system that just creates hot water. Is that accurtate?

It seems like having solar for heating the pool is beneficial early and late in the year to extend the swim season, but does anybody use their system for anything during all those other months? I know during peak summer it seems like you can use it to cool your pool, but what about all that sun during the summer and winter months? Just curious.

Some of you that have a PV system. What size system do you have and how much energy are you able to generate over the year?

Thanks,

Riles
