We have electric heat for our pool & live in a SECO area, so electric is not that bad. About $25/mo for a 10,000 gallon pool. We heat it Oct/Nov & Mar/Apr for sure. Only Dec-Jan if we are having a warmish winter & will swim. Use a solar cover during those months.
Thought about solar but with roofs not lasting long, decided it wasn’t worth it.
It should be fairly easy to add whatever heat source you decide on aftermarket.
Interesting to know that pools of any size are being added to new builds again. Good Luck with your decision
