Perhaps, the reason is the pool heater, which I presume is a heat pump, would send your incremental use into the penalty rate of 13.7 per kwh, vice 11.7. further you could schedule the pool heating during prime solar generation hours. Meaning you are using solar solely to heat your pool. The penalty rate is above 1,000 kwh for SECO customers.
I can't say for a fact, though, as I have gas for pool heating.
The overall idea is to use the heavy consumption electric appliances during solar hours, dry clothes, charge the car, super cool the house.
