Your Swimming Pool as a Free Thermal Battery
In Belgium and across the Benelux, feed-in tariffs for solar power returned to the grid are shrinking. By leveraging your swimming pool as a massive "thermal battery", you can store excess solar energy as warm water between 28°C and 30°C for free.
How Smart Energy Coupling Works in Practice
Using a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) or dry contact connection between your solar inverter/home battery and the pool controller, heating happens automatically:
- Dynamic Power Control: Whenever solar panels generate more electricity than your household consumes, the variable speed pump ramps up and the R290 heat pump activates.
- Maximizing Self-Consumption: Increases direct solar power usage by 30% to 50%, keeping your electricity bills at a minimum.
- Overnight Insulation with B-eau Covers: A B-eau automatic cover or Solar slatted cover retains up to 90% of daytime thermal gains overnight.
