Abstract
The possibility to use photovoltaic (PV) modules submerged in water or simply covered by a water veil suggest the possibility to use this renewable energy source (RES) integrated with swimming pools or with decorative pools and fountains. SP3 solution (Submerged PV Solar Panel for Swimming Pools) is discussed for underflow pools as well as for pools with skimmer. The extension of this concept to the possibility to store solar radiation for heating the water of the pool is explored using the results of experimentation already done for hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) modules. Simulation results for Mediterranean latitudes are discussed.
