Why daylight is enough
Most pools circulate for six to eight hours in the sun, which is exactly when the panels are strongest.
The pump draws from its own dedicated array, so the house meter stays out of the story.
A SunRay hybrid can run on sunlight alone, with zero electricity, for as long as the sun is up.
Why the grid is a guest, not a host
Ordinary grid-tie solar cannot work without utility power present. Here, no AC is needed for the solar to work.
AC is optional: wire it in and the pump uses it automatically at night, for a spa or a fountain.
What the household notices
Owners who make the change commonly save $100 to $250 a month.
That works out to up to 30% on the utility bill in many homes, varying with rates and weather.
