OP, you might want to look into a larger spa (like a swim spa), much lower cost than a pool, very quick installation, and easily available year round. We have 6 person (8' by 8') hot tub that I use year round. From what I have seen your pool will be about 1 year from order date to use date. Do not use solar PV for your heat source, use solar HOT water, BUT these appear to be much less effective in the winter, so you will need an additional heat source for the pool.
The larger spa will cost much less to operate, will have lots of therapeutic jets, and if you were like me, I keep the temperature at 102 for relieving sore muscles.
