No but logically solar heat is more efficient than photovoltaic |
My 10,000 gallon pool is plumbed with one panel that's probably 5'x3'. It spent a lot of time in the 80s this summer, peaking at 88 for a few days during the last big heat wave. Not bad, considering it got down into the 70s at night and we didn't bother covering it. I'd hate to think of the solar electric setup we'd have needed to get the same results.
