Solar Pool Heating Without Roof Panels
Heat your swimming pool using free attic heat instead of expensive gas, electric, or roof-mounted solar panel systems. The patented SolarAttic PCS4 captures trapped attic heat and transfers it into your pool water while helping reduce attic heat buildup inside your home.
If you are looking for a solar pool heater that does not require roof-mounted panels, the SolarAttic PCS4 is built to use attic heat for efficient solar pool heating.

What Is the SolarAttic PCS4?
The PCS4 is SolarAttic’s flagship panel-free solar pool heating system, designed to turn heat already building inside your attic into usable pool comfort.
Turn unused attic heat into warmer pool water.
Every sunny day, your roof absorbs solar heat and your attic stores it. Instead of letting that heat go to waste, the PCS4 captures it and transfers it into your swimming pool water.
