This is the case for outdoor swimming pools. Heating swimming pools is the most costâ€"effective use of solar energy in Canada. After all, if the weather is bad (cloudy, cold, rainâ€" ing, etc.) most people aren‘t going to bother heating their pools. It‘s when the weather improves (sunny, clear and warm) that they are going to swim, and solar energy is there to heat the pool. Solar energy is free, and solar pool heating equipment is moderate in cost, so a typical solar pool heating system can pay for itself in one or two years when compared to natural gas heaters or electric heat pumps. Solar energy‘s next most cost Cani effective application is for preâ€"heatâ€" _ third ing hot water.

Solar energy‘s cost effectiveness has been improving for heating houses, but this is mainly due to improvements in house energy effiâ€" ciency rather than better solar techâ€" nology. Passive solar energy (through proper window placement) and energy conservation should always be used before investing in an active solar energy system. Solar electricity is a wonderful thing. But it is very expensive and only costâ€"effective where regular electricity supply is at least two kilometres away. This means remote locations â€" cottages in remote locations â€" cottages in Canada (or many other places in thirdâ€"world countries). In Canada, this is not likely to change. If everyâ€" one had a solar system to supply them electricity during the day, hydro companies would sell almost no electricity when the sun was shining, and still have to supply all of the electrical demand when it wasn‘t.
