Between filtration running continuously, the heat pump, and the salt chlorinator, a swimming pool consumes electricity for months, especially during peak sunshine hours. This very simple observation led Poolex, the flagship brand of Poolstar Group, to design a solar range tailored around the pool for 2026. The objective is clear: to transform this major expense into an autonomous energy source for owners, while providing pool professionals with an excellent sales argument.
Why the Pool Is So Well Suited for Solar
The idea relies on a perfect alignment. In summer, technical pool equipment operates at full capacity at the exact moment when solar panels produce the most. This match between peak pool consumption and peak solar production makes the pool the ideal candidate for self-consumption, far more than other household appliances whose usage is spread throughout the year.
With the continuous rise in electricity prices, the subject has moved beyond a simple ecological gesture. It now reaches a broad clientele looking above all to regain control over an increasing maintenance bill.
Modular Solar Kit: An Evolutive First Step
As the entry point to the range, the Modular Solar Kit has been sized for pools up to 80 m³. Offered in 3, 6, or 9 kWp, it directly powers the pump, heat pump, or treatment system.
On the hardware side, it combines bifacial panels with a compact inverter, all controllable via a mobile application to keep an eye on production and savings. On the 6 kWp and 9 kWp versions, up to 15 kWh of batteries can be added to store electricity produced during the day. It is a flexible formula: you start by covering the pool’s needs, and then the surplus powers the rest of the house when production allows.
All-in-One: The Turnkey Answer for Professionals
With the All-in-One, Poolex gathers the hybrid inverter, energy manager, and battery into a single unit. Available in 5, 10, or 15 kWh, this cabinet stores daily solar energy to restore it as soon as the sun goes down, whether to maintain pool equipment or run the house.
For pool specialists, this all-in-one format greatly simplifies installation by avoiding the need to connect multiple separate modules. The application allows customers to monitor their consumption live. Another strong point in the field: in case of a power outage, the system switches to battery power in less than 20 milliseconds, avoiding any interruption.
Plug & Play: Solar Accessible in Minutes
At the other end of the range, the Plug & Play kit removes the barrier of installation work. Displaying 900 Wp of power, it arrives pre-assembled and plugs into a simple wall outlet. No need for construction work or complex intervention, which immediately removes hesitation from owners discouraged by traditional panel installation.
Equipped with two N-type TOPCon panels and a micro-inverter, it directly injects the electricity produced to lighten the consumption of pool equipment. The Poolex app also allows real-time production tracking and remote control of equipment.
A Real Opportunity for Pool Professionals
Beyond technical aspects, this range redefines the role of the professional. Already consulted for pool selection and maintenance, the pool builder becomes the natural contact to address global energy costs.
This is a real turning point for the profession because today, selling a high-performance pool is no longer enough; you need to offer solutions to reduce its budget impact. Without becoming a full photovoltaic installer, the professional now has a differentiating offer to reassure and retain customers.
With these three kits, Poolex pushes the pool towards a more sober and autonomous operation, providing a concrete response to small adjustments as well as full autonomy projects.
