Solar won't heat the pool to any reasonable temp in the December-February timeframe. I keep my pool at 88 during the winter, and solar can't come close. A heat pump will heat the pool for less than $50 a month. If you're going to install solar AND another heat source to heat the pool when solar doesn't cut it, it doesn't make sense to install solar. You'll never recoup the additional cost for solar.
