I have had "free" solar powered heating for my pool since 2009 - works very well and from april through to Oct I get a min of 28C and up to 34C when really sunny in June-sept.. It is by solar "mats" on my roof - water is pumped to them and back to the pool. Problem is you need a flat area of at least 70% of your pool area.

I have the same system as Maccasa above and throughout the pandemic, the Ukranian war and the Russian sanctions, I've been tracking the monthly pool heating costs:

Good point Widge.
