Solar power is good for supplying energy but will it work for heating a hot tub? A hot tub needs constant energy to keep the water warm and so if you live in a place where there is a lot of sun, perhaps the sun could be used to heat it. Unfortunately, while this sounds like a good idea, in practicality it doesnt work too well.
In order for a solar hot tub to work, you would have to live somewhere where there is a lot of sun. Also, since it is best to keep the water warm all the time, at night there would be no sun power to do the job. Therefore an alternative source of energy would have to be found for nighttime heating. Solar hot tubs could probably be made but for the little demand they would have, it is probably not worth it for manufacturers
Nevertheless, a hot tub that can be partially powered by the sun sounds like a great idea to many people. If you can get the right solar panels and have enough knowledge to hook them up to the hot tub and have them contribute to the energy source, it is possible to have a makeshift solar tub. Again though, totally using the sun to heat it will not work because there just isnt enough sun to get the job done.
A solar hot tub cover is something you may want to buy that will help with keeping the water warm. You can get covers that have solar cells on them and the help transfer energy to the water and the cover also helps prevent heat from escaping. It is possible to find this kind of cover at places online and you might be able to find something like this at a local store. However, not too many places sell solar cells, panels, or covers.
The low demand means that hot tubs powered by solar energy may never find their way on to the market. Even though it is a great idea, if money cant be made by it then no manufacturer will go forward with the idea. If you are interested in solar energy for any type of appliance, right now about the only thing you can do is to by solar panels and find a way to attach them to the power source. - 30453
