Solar Pool Heating is the Only Responsible Form of Heating

A pool can be the largest consumer of energy in a household if heated with gas or electricity.  It is now irresponsible to burn fossil fuels for pool heating when solar is reliable and pollution free.  Solar will produce around 3% of the Greenhouse Gas that electricity or gas heating produces.

HT50 Solar Systems

• In 2000, Hi Temp introduced to the SA market HT50 individual tube design solar pool heating collectors.
• Seven four HDPE riser pipes have been developed and lead the industry with appearance and performance

Best Looking Solar with Flat Loops 

• Hi Temp has revolutionised the solar industry again with the latest longer lasting grommet design.
• Second rate solar can look quite ugly with loops that sit up to 20cm off your roof
• Hi Temp’s award winning flat loop system looks better than any other system available, and comes with a better warranty of 12 years

Automatic Hi Temp Controller

• 2008 Gold Award for Product innovation!
• A solar controller is arguably the most important part of a solar system.  It’s the brain behind the system and if it’s not working properly, then your investment on the roof is partially wasted
• Hi Temp is the smartest, yet simplest controller available with winter mode, auto lockouts, power surge protection, energy saving mode, plus many others functions

Get a return on Your Investment

• A solar pool heater has an extraordinary payback period and will double the length of your swimming season

Solar pool heating is remarkably adaptable. Its low operating temperatures and summer use free it somewhat from the stringent requirements of collector orientation and tilt. The relatively high summer sun—from October through April—is readily available, and a fairly low efficiency of solar collection is enough to provide all the heat a pool needs. (Of course, if you have other uses in mind for the collectors, such as heating a hot tub, household water, or even the house air itself, you need just as rigorous a design and as efficient a system as for any other kind of solar heating.)

As a result of this design flexibility, there are successful solar pool-heating systems in which the collectors crop up in all kinds of unusual situations: fences, pool- house roofs, banks and hillsides, and garage roofs. Some even face directions other than directly north. (Beware, however, of sloppy design: just because there’s room for more variation in solar pool heating design doesn’t mean that the designer can afford to ignore the basic tenets of solar design in general.)

In addition to its suitability for retrofitting, solar pool heating has the advantage of economy: homeowners turn to it because it conserves resources or, as in one case in which the house and pool crown an open hilltop, because the sun is plentiful. Most often, homeowners turn to it because gas or electric pool heaters cost so much to run that they threaten to become unaffordable (or even outlawed in some states). A solar pool heating system, on the other hand, grows cheaper as it pays for itself.

HDPE panels on flat pool house roof are mounted on freestanding framework to get necessary angle and orientation for solar exposure. Pool is solar-heated from October to March, then a heatpump auxiliary comes on. System can be controlled thermostatically or manually.

Solar panels were installed on garage roof 1 year after pool was built, to coincide with roof remodel. Forward-looking homeowner/installers put in pipes for solar heating when they added pool, so as to conceal piping, make later solar installation easier. Five collectors provide heat from September to April, then heatpump heater supplements system through the colder periods. One more panel may be necessary to prolong swimming period and overcome shading problems caused by nearby pine trees.

Dear Sir or Madam,
RE: RECENT INSTALLATION OF 5 PANEL SOLAR POOL HEATING

Just a short letter to commend you on 1st CLASS service & a 1st CLASS product. I recently had an installation done of 5 solar panels for my new pool. Your installation team were perfect & the job was done on time. All follow up calls were addressed on time & all I can say, is "It’s been true service with a smile."
Not only was the service of superb quality the product is fantastic. After just 2 sunny days my pool temp was up to 30 degrees! My buddy’s pool is still sitting at 20 degrees. (He came to swim at my place over the week-end)
Grant, the technician & Bill Frost, The salesman, thank-you so much for what you guys have done, it has been an absolute pleasure doing business with your company. After all my renovations & having 6 different contractors in, to do various jobs around the house, all I can say is they need to spend a few days with you guys, to learn about customer service. Any prospective clients are more than welcome to call me for a reference at any time, hence my writing this memo, because we always tend to complain but never give praise when it’s due.
Lastly, a very BIG thank you, & I hereby commit to refer you guys when ever the word "swimming pool heating" crops up in future conversations.
Sincerely,
Stewart Kramm

South Africa is at the forefront of the development of new solar power technology that will offer consumers a cheaper and highly efficient alternative to standard solar panels.

The breakthrough technology is the result of over 13 years of research by the University of Johannesburg’s Professor Vivian Alberts. His solar panels are made from a unique metal alloy that converts light into energy at a fraction of the usual cost.
Unlike standard solar panels that contain a 350 micron thick silicon layer, Alberts’ panels make use of copper, indium, gallium, sulphur and selenium. The result is a revolutionary thin panel, approximately five microns thick (a human hair is 20 microns thick), that can be sold at a dramatically lower cost.
The elements used in Alberts’ panel are all semiconductors making his technology far more effective in attracting heat.
"The technology has proved itself in the pilot-plant phase, without a doubt," Alberts told Engineering News in 2005 when the breakthrough was first announced.
Following his discovery,  Alberts and the University of Johannesburg formed the company Photovoltaic Technology Intellectual Property in 2005 (PTIP). The company has since entered into agreements with a solar energy investor in Germany known as Johanna Solar Technology. Currently work is underway on the establishment of a purpose-built plant where the solar panels will be built.
According to Engineering News, PTIP will be building a local manufacturing facility with South African investors that will produce 450 000 panels a year.
The South African venture has earmarked a site in Paarl, in the Western Cape, for the local solar panel plant and the project is in the process of securing financing.
