Re: Solar panels for pools
We don't have a pool, but we have a bank of solar panels on our roof and the system in the basement here in the Mid-Hudson Valley for our domestic hot water. It's been functioning for well over 20 years and has paid for itself time and time again! Minimal maintenance over the years. Couldn't be more pleased with it and could never understand why more people didn't take advantage of this form of alternative energy before all credits and grants for it were cut completely in the mid '80s; we put ours in just before that. I think part of the price we're paying today with the cost of gasoline stemmed from the elimination of any focus on alternative energy going back to those days. Yes, it's well worth doing, and it would be even more effective in Florida, IMHO!
