Incentives: What is the payback time for a solar pool heater?
Answer
Payback times vary and are dependent on your original heating source type, utility solar incentive and the homeowner’s ability to use the state tax credits. Simple pay backs tend to be less than 10 years, when the solar is augmenting gas or electric heating. If you were not heating the pool previously, the payback is more difficult to calculate since there are no direct cost off sets.
