Hi all, Newbie here.
I need some help with the spec of what I need. So I want to heat my above ground pool, I have two heaters. One Air Source but cuts out below 12deg c - This is mains powered and as it cuts out below 12deg c don't see the point in changing it to solar. (unless in the summer)
The other is a hot tub heater, Bestway, it runs on a 13amp plug the manual says this is the usage;
So the hot tub heater is what I would like to run. Is this going to cost thousands? I live in a windy area so a combo of solar and wind would work well. I'm struggling to ascertain what I actually need in terms of how many panels, how many batteries. In an idea would this would run 24/7 but thats not realistic I think it needs to run 4hours + minimum.
The pool is insulated and I am currently encasing it under a pergola with polycarbonate.
Any help would be appreciated!
