Lakewood NJ (SPX) Jan 28, 2009 Unlike the solar-electric PV industry, which desperately needed and received a 30% federal tax bailout to survive, solar swimming pool heating has always been the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly use of solar technology. Due to its design, a solar swimming pool heater directly transfers solar energy to heat the pool water. As a result, it is 10 times as cost-effective and CO2 reducing per dollar of investment as compared to a solar electric PV system. In fact, a solar swimming pool heating system, which can last for 20 years, can pay for itself from the savings in gas or electricity in as little as 3 years, while providing free heat from the sun to warm your pool. So when Congress specifically excluded solar swimming pool heating from the recently extended 30% tax credit in its massive bailout bill, they did so because solar swimming pool heating is already cost-effective and doesn't need a federal bailout.
