Honeycomb Black Solar Cell Pool Cover

Honeycomb Black Solar Cell Pool Cover

The bubble cover with one of the best thermal insulation performance on the market.

Our Honeycomb Solar Cover uses translucent solar cells and a black UV shield. It cuts water loss by up to 180 L/day and stops 99 % of evaporation.

Black Absorbs Heat – Superior Heat Retention

Our innovative dual-layer design maximises heat absorption. The black surface covers more area through its bubble structure than standard covers, delivering enhanced heat retention much like double-glazed windows.

Disclaimer: Cover shown includes the hemming Leading Edge Kit; not included as standard. Sold separately.

Please note: Covers do not come with the silver hemming or leading edge shown in the video. If you’d like a leading edge, we sell DIY kits.

Why Choose Honeycomb?

Discover the next generation in pool-cover technology with the Honeycomb Black Solar Cell Pool Cover, powered by our patented alveolar structure. Built for performance, durability and environmental responsibility, it’s the smart upgrade for pool owners who expect more.

550 microns bubble covers with “Alveolar technology” are warrantied for 6 summer seasons (degressive 20 %).

Key Benefits

Honeycomb Solar Cover FAQs

What makes a black solar pool cover more efficient? 

A black solar cover is more effective at heat retention because the dark pigment absorbs a broader spectrum of solar energy. Unlike standard covers, black solar covers are often better than blue at trapping heat within the water and preventing it from escaping overnight.

How does the honeycomb solar cover design improve performance? 

The unique honeycomb solar cover cells provide a larger surface area for heat transfer compared to traditional round bubbles. This specialised black bubble pool cover design creates a more effective thermal barrier, making it a premium solar cover for those looking to maximise their pool's temperature.

Can this be used as a black pool solar blanket for any pool type? 

Yes, this honeycomb black solar blanket is versatile. Whether you need a black solar cover for inground pool setups or above ground installations, the honeycomb cover material can be trimmed to fit your specific dimensions.

Is a black pool blanket effective at preventing evaporation? 

Absolutely. Using a black swimming pool solar cover significantly reduces water evaporation and chemical loss. Installing a black solar cover for above ground pools blocks light to help inhibit algae growth while maintaining a consistent temperature.

Do you offer other black solar pool covers?

Yes, in addition to our honeycomb solar cover, we also supply the high-performance 500m GeoBubble Solar Cover.
