Solar pool panels, used to heat pool water, typically last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Their lifespan depends on factors like material quality, climate, and upkeep:
- Material: High-quality panels, often made of durable polymers or UV-resistant plastics, resist wear from sun exposure and pool chemicals.
- Florida Climate: Florida’s intense sun and humidity can stress panels, but good-quality systems are designed to withstand these conditions.
- Maintenance: Regular cleaning and inspections prevent debris buildup or damage, extending panel life.
Most panels come with warranties of 7-12 years, covering defects or performance issues. With care, many systems exceed this, providing cost-effective pool heating for enjoying Florida’s sunny lifestyle.
