Your pool,
powered by the sun.

Most pool owners save between $1,200 and $1,800 per year on electricity costs. Pool pumps are the single largest energy consumer in most homes — often more than air conditioning. The SunRay Hybrid AC/DC pump typically pays for itself within 2–3 years, then it's pure savings for the next 15–20 years.

Yes! SunRay Hybrid pumps are AC/DC, meaning they run on solar power when the sun is shining and automatically switch to your home's AC power when needed. Your pool stays circulating no matter what the weather does. This is the key advantage over solar-only pumps that stop working when clouds roll in.

It depends on your pump size and sun exposure. As a general guide: ½ HP = 2–3 panels, 1 HP = 3–4 panels, 2 HP = 4–6 panels, 3.5 HP = 6–8 panels. Our Choose My Pump wizard will give you a tailored recommendation based on your specific pool and location.

Many homeowners install SunRay pumps themselves — they're designed for easy DIY setup with standard pool plumbing connections. Most installations take 1–2 hours with basic tools. The pump connects to your existing plumbing, and the solar panels mount on a ground rack or roof. We provide step-by-step guides, and our support team is available by phone if you need help.

SunRay pumps are made in the USA with marine-grade components designed to last 20+ years. Every pump includes a manufacturer warranty, and because the motors are brushless DC, there's far less wear than traditional pumps. If anything does come up, our California-based support team handles everything — call (855) 372-8467 and a real human picks up.

Variable-speed pumps reduce energy use by running slower — but they still consume grid electricity all day. A typical variable-speed pump costs $400–$700/year to operate. The SunRay Solar Hybrid gets that cost down to $0–$150/year by using free solar energy during peak hours. Plus, the hybrid design means you get the reliability of grid backup without sacrificing any savings.
