Solar Energy is a Chicagoland business dedicated to providing an affordable alternative to rising electricity costs. Since 1982, Solar Energy has helped thousands of homeowners lower their monthly electric bills by installing photovoltaic solar energy systems on their homes. However, that's not all. Solar Energy also offers solar hot water heaters and pool heaters. The philosophy of Solar Energy is simple: provide high quality, affordable, energy efficient solar power products for your home and business.
At Solar Energy of Illinois, we want to educate consumers how the use of fossil fuels affects the earth. We know that clean, reliable solar energy is an alternative to these fossil fuels and the toxins emitted when they are converted to energy.
We considered installing a solar photovoltaic system for our residential home, a new construction, for many months. It seemed the clear choice for the environment and for our children's future. A more difficult decision involved the so-called "break-even" financial point. Therefore we requested three proposals from three different solar companies and allowed each company to provide what they believed was the best system.
If you have a pool, you are more than familiar with the traditional costs of heating it. However, you can quickly lower those monthly bills with a solar pool heating system. We offer solar pool heaters for both residential and commercial use. This sufficient way of heating the pool water has exceptional quality, efficiency, and is one of the most cost-effective ways of harnessing the sun's power. Also the system needs very little or no maintenance throughout the year.
How does it work?
Solar pool heating systems use the pool's exiting pump to circulate the water through the solar thermal collectors, which can be mounted either on a ground rack or a roof. As the water flows through passageways inside the collectors, it quickly gets heated by the sun. Once water passes through all of the collectors and the desired temperature is reached, it gets drained back into the pool. The entire system is monitored by a 3-way valve and a valve controller, using special sensors to control the water temperature. This way a desired temperature of water coming down from the solar collectors can be chosen and maintained.
When you compare the costs of heating your pool with electricity from the utility grid, natural gas, or even propane, to heating your pool with solar energy, you'll quickly see that harnessing the free power of the sun is far more cost-effective. Some traditional pool heating systems may have lower initial costs, but the maintenance and fuel required every season will quickly rack up. Solar pool heating systems are an effective and money saving solution.

The impressive savings will easily allow a solar system to pay for itself over a short amount of time.
Because these solar systems have few moving parts, they're virtually maintenance free, while also being 100% friendly to the environment. You simply set the water temperature of the pool and enjoy a much longer swim season, without the costly energy bills or environmental damage.
In some areas, you may be able to enjoy a heated pool all year long. Come see why Solar Energy is the choice for your solar pool heater needs.
