Homes with pools have significant daytime loads from pool pumps running 6-8 hours daily in summer. Optimising pump timing with solar generation, combined with battery storage, can significantly reduce electricity costs.
A home with an 8kW solar system and pool pump may find the pump timing isn't optimised for solar production. Pumps often run in early morning, missing peak solar hours (10am-4pm). Evening usage adds to grid imports.
Common goals include: optimising pool pump timing with a battery buffer, eliminating most grid imports, and having backup for pool pump and fridge during outages (to prevent algae growth and food spoilage).
13-16 kWh capacity can handle evening family usage (6-10 kWh), provide buffer for pool pump timing flexibility, and offer sufficient backup capacity for essentials including the pool pump.
Look for installers who can help reprogram pool timers to run during peak solar hours, with the battery covering any gaps. Ensure the backup circuit includes the pool pump if outage protection is important.
Note: These are typical outcomes based on industry patterns. Individual results vary based on actual usage, solar generation, and system configuration.
