Solar Panels and Hot Tub

Can solar panels power a hot tub?

A hot tub uses 3,000-5,000 kWh/year (costing £735-£1,225 at 24.5p/kWh). Solar can offset 30-60% of this cost depending on system size and usage pattern. To cover a hot tub, add 3-5kW of solar to your home system. Best approach: heat the hot tub during daylight hours when solar is generating, use a well-insulated cover to retain heat, and consider a time-of-use tariff for overnight top-ups.
