Dont forget that a solar electric power system is money better spent considering federal tax incentives. A system designed with all of your electrical needs in mind will greatly reduce your energy costs and inthe long run will give you the greatest overall benefit (example-pay back, tax credits, greater re-sale on your home, fight cost of energy inflation).

Most pool owners are not aware that in some cases your pool pump(s) often account for the second largest energy load on a home. One way to offset this load is with a solar powered pool pumping system. This includes a DC motor that is connected directly to solar electric panels. You can also put a calculated amount of solar panels on your home and tie them into you power supply to directly offset the energy the pool pump(s) are consuming. Both of these are great combinations with energy efficient pumps since the greatest need for filtration pumping is during the daylight hours. Solar during the day and the remaining necessary turnover flow can be completed in the evening. Ralph Parrott Alternative Power Solutions Kathleen
