I was thinking of getting solar for my pool since I live in California, I've read it's the best option. I'm curious how much solar I would actually need, and what pump would work best. originally I was going to get 1.65hp vs since my pool is on the smaller side but since I want the solar I've been told to go with the 3hp. thinking of the pentair intelliflo. my pool is roughly 11,000 gallons. its an odd shape but the surface area is prob a little more than 300 sq ft. I'm new to pool ownership so any advice is appreciated
edit: I have solar panels for electricity so half my roof is taken. the other half gets less sun by a couple hours. is that a problem? it will still get sun most of the day but the neighbors trees shade part of my roof
