Solar Pool Heating
Report
Today, more solar energy is used for heating swimming pools than for any other single use. Over 200,000 pools are heated by solar in the United States alone. The oldest systems have been in use for more than 25 years, and are cost-effective, highly reliable and require minimal maintenance. Customer demand has spawned a thriving industry that now spans a large portion of the country.
Commercial
Report
Commercial swimming pools, such as those used in schools, YMCA's, Home Owners Associations, and Hotels/Motels are exceptionally situated to take advantage of the solar option. Because of the excessive cost of keeping these pools warm for spontaneous use, solar is uniquely capable of supplying the needed heat necessary and for FREE!

These guys are honestly, the BEST. Courteous, honest, and attentive to my needs. In 2005, they installed a solar heater that worked perfectly for 15 years. The original install was mounted to my metal roof with an underlaying framework that eventually deteriorated. The heater itself still worked perfectly, but I elected to replace the system as the cost to do so was very reasonable.

They removed the old underlying framework and solar heater and replaced it with a new one in short order. After installation, there was a minor leak that they came out and repaired in no time at all. Very impressed with their work and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in a solar heater for their pool. Cannot say enough about these guys or the product they sell.

We continually have leaks after 4 years. Worked great the first two years. Now a constant maintenance issue. UPDATE: Sunrise has turned their customer service around. I can now say their service has drastically improved and is exceptional.

A competitor told me that they could not design a system that would work using the back of my house, even though the sun obviously hits it. So I was a little apprehensive when Sunrise Solar said it will work. They came and measured to ensure that the panels would fit and it was pretty close. I got Joe to explain how it will work in detail so that I was comfortable making the significant investment in the system.

I am glad I did. My water was 71 degrees on Saturday due to cold and rainy weather. Once the sun came out, the system is bringing the water temperature up around the high temperature for the day. 86 yesterday and 88 today (Thursday). So in 5 days it went up 17 degrees. The crew that installed the system worked hard, they were personable and accommodating.

If you are interested in a solar heater system for your pool, there are two downsides you should know about: 1. Your variable speed pump will run on a higher speed, so electric costs will go up. Fortunately this will generally be in the Spring and Fall. 2. Your water will be warm like the middle of the summer much earlier in the season. The chemicals will need more attention to keep algae in check.

After our first year without a heater, I knew our pool needed one. We checked several companies before we picked Sunrise Solar and we couldn't be happier. Not only does the heater really extend our season (we were still swimming when friends couldn't because they didn't have heater) but once you pay for installation, all the heat is free. We also want to compliment the installation crew.

They showed up when they said they would, arrived on time, and left our yard just like they found it. We are recommending Sunrise Solar to anyone who is thinking about heating their pool.

Sunrise Solar was fantastic! They recently installed my solar system for my pool and they were so very professional and prompt. After meeting with Dave I knew that I had picked the right company. I highly recommend Sunrise Solar! Dave and the rest of the sunrise crew will be a part of our family for years to come!

The installation was done quickly and without any incidents at all. The system was installed correctly and was as expected. The pool has stayed at the desired 80 degrees throughout the season. We swam comfortably through the end of October last year, and drained it after some heavy rains cooled things down.

Sunrise Solar installed our solar pool system, 4 years ago, and it has performed well, and we feel it has paid for itself. Also, Dave and his crew were proactive in responding to correct, a minor problem, and were always happy to answer our questions. A sound and reliable company, we are proud to recommend.

"Inherited" Sunrise Solar when we purchased our house in 2012, previous owners highly recommended them, and they have done a fine job, always very responsible and thorough.

Dave and his crew installed a solar pool heating system for us in 2007, which they have continued to maintain for us. Our pool is in a covered area so never got direct sunlight, and therefore had never been warm enough for us to enjoy swimming without an expensive gas heater and ongoing high gas bills. The solar heating system has given us 6 -7 months of swimming each year.

They are now updating the original system to include photo voltaic panels for solar electric savings as well as the solar thermal for the pool. Sunrise Solar has served us well, and will continue to be part of our home maintenance crew with the advances in the new system. Thanks, Dave!

Dave has been putting up solar units longer than anyone else in Central Texas has been doing "anything" having to do with pools. He has dedicated his life to learning and perfecting his craft. If Dave puts in your system, you will have the best possible experience. It will work correctly and continue to be a benefit for years to come. thank you Dave. Bill Owen, Pool Contractor

Have had x 7 (4 x 12) solar panels heating my pool for over ten years. I have Sunrise Solar come each Fall to turn solar off and each Spring to turn it back on. Outstanding service - extremely reliable.

Dave and his crews have helped me for many years. They've always been accommodating, courteous and responsive to my questions and needs. As owner/manager of the operation he's a straight-shooter and extremely helpful to the homeowner in matters involving solar pool heating systems. He's not the kind to send a crew out on an expensive diagnostic run when a solution is easily at hand.which he will openly and candidly share.

We have been using the product for 4 years. We can get 90 degrees by early April. The annual expense is about $250 for minor leak repair. Installation was efficient and maintenance calls are fairly prompt.

Sunrise Solar installed a system in my house several yrs ago and we swam 11 months out of the yr. Planning on installing another system in my new house this year. Absolutely, the most knowlegeable in the solar pool heating business.
