Oh, I know a guy who installs solar pool heaters. I think they're radiator-type heat exchange solar panels (not photovoltaic electrical collectors) that go on the roof, and a pump system circulates the liquid to provide heating through a coil/fan exchange system. If I'm not mistaken they're pretty cheap. The biggest cost is in the panels themselves. Everything else is from the pool supply aisle at Home Depot.
