Swim for longer, on sunshine.
High-efficiency solar powered pool heating for residential and commercial pools — running in off-grid or hybrid mode, with no batteries and no water plumbed onto your roof.
Solar in, warm water out
A heat pump moves heat rather than making it, and MPPT keeps the array working at its best point all day. That combination is what makes solar pool heating practical.
Panels, not plumbing
Solar panels go on the roof — panels only. There is no pool water pumped up there and nothing to leak or freeze.
MPPT tracks the sun
Maximum Power Point Tracking keeps pulling the most available power out of the array as light and temperature change through the day.
The heat pump does the work
Rather than burning energy to create heat, the unit moves existing heat into your pool water — which is why it needs so little power to run.
A pool you actually use
The water comes up to a comfortable temperature and stays there, so the swim season stretches out at both ends.
Runs with no grid connection
Powered entirely by its own solar array — no batteries and no mains connection needed. Well suited to rural properties and sites where a grid tie is awkward.
Tops up from mains when needed
Uses solar first and draws the balance from mains only when the sun is not covering it — so the pool holds temperature through a run of grey days.
Three sizes, one for your pool
Pick your pool size and we'll point to the model that usually suits. We confirm the right one on site.
For smaller pools
The compact unit in the range — the usual choice for plunge pools and smaller backyard pools.
- Off-grid or hybrid operation
- R32 refrigerant
- Wi-Fi smart control
For medium pools
The mid-range unit, and the one most standard family pools end up with.
- Off-grid or hybrid operation
- R32 refrigerant
- Wi-Fi smart control
For large pools
The largest single unit — and it can be stacked with another for extra-large and commercial pools.
- Stackable for bigger pools
- Off-grid or hybrid operation
- R32 refrigerant
Extra large or commercial? Multiple 17 kW units can be stacked to cover bigger volumes. Sizing depends on your pool's volume, whether it is covered, and how early in the season you want to be swimming — we work it out with you rather than guessing from the surface area.
What's inside
The details that decide whether a pool heater is worth owning three summers from now.
Operating range
Keeps working across a wide ambient range, so it is not sidelined by a cool morning or a hot afternoon.
Refrigerant
A refrigerant chosen for its lower environmental impact than the older gases still common in pool heating.
Solar tracking
Maximum Power Point Tracking pulls the most available power from the array as conditions change through the day.
Smart control
Set the temperature and check on the pool from your phone, without walking out to the equipment.
or hybrid
Run it entirely from its own solar array, or let it draw the balance from mains when the sun falls short.
Residential & commercial
The same range covers backyard pools, and larger commercial pools by stacking multiple 17 kW units.

The pool is the easy part. Sizing it properly is not.
We look at the whole energy picture before recommending anything — because a pool heater sits alongside everything else your household or site is already running.
-
Sized to your pool, not its surface area
Volume, whether it is covered, and how early in the season you want to swim all change the answer.

Common questions
Does it need batteries?
No. The system runs from its own solar array, and MPPT keeps that array working at its best point through the day. There is no battery bank to buy, house or eventually replace.
Does it need to be connected to the grid?
Not in off-grid mode — it runs entirely from solar. Hybrid mode is also available if you would rather it top up from mains when the sun is not covering the load, which helps the pool hold temperature through cloudy stretches.
Is this the same as solar pool heating on the roof?
No. Traditional solar pool heating pumps your pool water up to roof-mounted matting. Here the panels are just solar panels — no pool water goes onto the roof, so there is nothing up there to leak, block or freeze.
Which size do I need?
Broadly, 11 kW for smaller pools, 15 kW for medium, and 17 kW for large — with multiple 17 kW units stacked for extra-large and commercial pools. The real answer depends on your pool's volume, whether it is covered and how early you want to be swimming.
Will it still work on a cool day?
The range operates from 5°C to 58°C ambient, so cool mornings and hot afternoons are both well within it. A heat pump moves heat rather than creating it, which is what lets it keep working when the air is cool.
Can I control it from my phone?
Yes — the units are Wi-Fi enabled with smart controls, so you can set the temperature and check the pool remotely rather than walking out to the equipment.
