Why Install a Solar Pool Heater

If you enjoy pool time but want to make the most of it, installing a solar pool heater in Palm Springs is a smart move. Unlike standard heaters, solar systems use clean energy from the sun to keep your water at the right temperature.

Here are the key benefits of solar pool heating:

  • Extended Swim Season: Stay in the water well beyond summer. Solar heating lets you enjoy your pool in early spring and late fall.
  • Low Maintenance: Once installed, the system operates with minimal attention. Our systems are built to last and require little upkeep.
  • Eco-Friendly Heating: Solar power reduces dependence on non-renewable energy sources. It uses what Palm Springs has plenty of sunlight.
  • Quiet Operation: Unlike gas or electric models, solar heaters don’t generate noise. The system works silently in the background.
  • Built-In Value: A solar pool heater adds practical and long-term value to your Palm Springs home, especially in a solar-friendly city.

Our Process

We approach every installation with accuracy, care, and customer collaboration. Our heater pool system is custom-designed to fit your specific pool size and roof layout. Here’s how we make sure your system performs at its best:

  1. Measurement and Surface Area: We begin by measuring the average length and width of your pool. This helps us calculate how much heating coverage is needed. For example, a 20×30 ft. pool equals 600 sq. ft. of surface area.
  2. System Sizing: We calculate your required solar coverage. A minimum of 50% coverage is standard, but we often recommend 80% for consistent, comfortable temperatures. This determines the number of solar pool heater panels we install.
  3. Panel Placement: We evaluate all suitable roof spaces, excluding north-facing areas. Our goal is to maximize sun exposure, using one or multiple roof areas if needed. This is how your solar pool heater in Palm Springs gets the power it needs to work efficiently.

How Our System Works

Riverside averages over 270 sunny days per year, making it one of the most solar-friendly cities in California. This consistent sunlight not only increases solar energy production but also makes solar pool heating highly efficient and reliable for local homeowners.

Our solar panel pool heater works by redirecting water through your pool’s filtration system and up into the solar panels. During your regular filtration cycle, a solar valve opens and sends water through the solar collectors where it’s warmed by the sun.

This warmed water then flows back into your pool. The entire process happens during daylight hours, and there are no additional steps once it’s set up. 

You can control the flow manually or use a Compool PVT-2S valve for automatic operation. With a solar pool heater pump integrated into the system, you get smooth, efficient circulation every day.

Why Choose Suntrek

When investing in a solar pool heater in Palm Springs, choosing the right company matters. Suntrek combines technical expertise, high-quality systems, and unmatched local experience.
Our crew consists of seasoned professionals who understand how solar energy works in desert climates. We know what Palm Springs homes need and how to install solar systems that work with their style and structure.

We do more than pool heating. Our complete lineup of services includes:

  • Solar Hot Water Heating: Just like your pool heater, a solar water heater uses sunlight to deliver dependable hot water throughout your home. It’s an ideal solution for showers, dishwashing, and daily routines, powered entirely by clean energy.
  • PV Solar and Energy Storage Systems: If you’re already enjoying a solar pool heater in Palm Springs, adding photovoltaic panels and battery storage lets you power the rest of your home with the sun. These systems allow you to collect energy during the day and store it for use anytime, even after dark.
  • Whole House Fan Systems: Homes with a solar pool heater in Palm Springs often benefit from better airflow indoors, too. A whole house fan pulls in cooler outdoor air while pushing warm air out, helping to freshen up your living space, without running your AC nonstop.
  • Maintenance and Repairs: Like any long-term investment, your solar pool heater in Palm Springs should be checked regularly. We handle everything from inspections to part replacements, so your system stays reliable, efficient, and ready for every swim.
  • EV Charger Solar Panel Support: If you’re driving electric and already using a solar pool heater in Palm Springs, we can integrate your solar EV charger with your solar system. This ensures your car charges efficiently with clean power from your existing setup.

We build each system using durable materials and time-tested designs that hold up in extreme conditions. Our solar panels and components are selected for their strength, flexibility, and ability to perform in the desert heat. Every part of the system is installed with care, from how panels are mounted to how water flows through the collectors.

Our team follows detailed solar panel installation standards to ensure your solar pool heating system runs smoothly day after day. Whether it’s a new build or a retrofit, we treat your home with the same attention to detail we’d give our own. You can count on a clean install, reliable function, and long-lasting results.

Your preferences guide everything we do. Before we install anything, we take time to understand how you use your pool, how you want your system to look, and what level of warmth you expect. This isn’t about simply placing panels on a roof; it’s about designing a system that fits your lifestyle.

Every solar pool heater in Palm Springs is custom-designed to fit your space, meet your goals, and blend in with your home. Whether you’re after year-round comfort or a simple extension of your swim season, we make sure the result matches what matters most to you.

What Our Clients Are Saying

My first install with Suntrek was 15 years ago and we never had a problem with the system. This past summer, we had them install their system at our new home. Amanda has communicated well and we have not had any problems (so far). Today, we had our winterize service done and the crew that came out was very friendly, very helpful and very professional. I have no complaints toward Suntrek (and I like to complain!).

Suntrek is an excellent company with amazing, professional, and kind employees. We had our solar panels installed 20 years ago and they are still cranking out the power. We recently had a new solar heater for our pool installed and we could not be more pleased. I highly recommend this company. Their service and products are excellent, and their employees are even better!!
T.A.
We have used Suntrek solar for both our homes in southern CA and have had a great experience both times. Pricing was very competitive; in fact their quote was lower than any of the others we got and the quality of the panels superior. They completed the project within with estimated time quoted. The cost was exactly as predicted in the quote and they have been great about monitoring the system and making sure it’s preforming properly. I highly recommend them. We used them for both home solar as well as pool solar and have been very happy with them.

I had a great experience working with Suntrek. From the start, I spoke with about 4 different Solar companies, and I have to say Ethan was the most transparent and explained the processes around solar better than anyone else I spoke with. Although from start to finish took a little longer than expected, not because of any fault of Suntrek. They did get my electric solar installed by the end of the year so that I could include it on my 2021 tax returns, and then got the pool solar quickly done in early January.
F.S.
I have used Suntrek Solar for years, we are an Architectural firm-Studio 6 Architects, and enjoy working with Ethan. I recently have installed a solar system on my house, and the experience was great, they are very professional, and meet all the costs and deadlines, this is why we will continue to make Suntrek’s the company we will always recommend to our client.

Had a fantastic experience with Ethan and his team. They installed it on time and left my yard clean after they were finished. We had a wonderful summer in our pool after getting the solar heater system installed. Been here three years and the previous owners didn’t put a heater in when they put the pool in… we spent maybe 1 hour over the last 3 years in the pool. This summer was amazing, my son had a blast and the system worked great! We were in it almost daily and it was great! Thank you everyone!
