I have no experience with them. I would think they would have a hard time heating the pool since you will get limited amounts of good sun and on rainy days very little. I would talk to a few owners and see how warm they can get their pools.
I have solar electric and produce 100% of my electricity, but to keep the lights on about 1/2 of the electric comes from the electric company due to nights and cloudy days. Might look at solar electric and an electric heater. This may not be economical.
