SPRINGBOKPOOLS

A new innovative idea involving the use of solar panels (photovoltaic) to power up to 3 electric pumps for filtering, jets and other water features; an electric pool water heater, and the pool lamps. This would be a timed system, operating up to 10 hours of 24, and have the ability to operate during the dark using batteries charged continuosly by the solar during daylight hours. The system could be sized to include powering an air blower (for the spa jets) and also the pool computer and electronic valve actuators.

Solar info .....

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into electric current using the photoelectric effect.

Photovoltaics were initially, and still are, used to power small and medium sized applications, from the calculator powered by the single solar cell to off-grid homes powered by a photovoltaic array. They are an important and relatively inexpensive source of electrical energy where grid power is inconvenient, unreasonably expensive to connect, or simply unavailable. However, as the cost of solar electricity is falling, solar power is also increasingly being used even in grid-connected situations as a way to feed low-carbon energy into the grid.

PHOTOVOLTAICS ....

A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell (PV), is a device that converts light into electric current using the photoelectric effect. The first solar cell was constructed by Charles Fritts in 1880. Solar cells produce direct current (DC) power which fluctuates with the sunlights intensity. For practical use this requires conversion to alternating current (AC).
