Photovoltaic solar cell technology has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, with more and more efficient solar collectors being manufactured at more cost-effective prices. This cutting edge technology has allowed us to develop the Portland Solar Powered Pool Roller, an electrically operated cover reel powered by a battery charged by its own integral solar cell, which allows you to automatically and effortlessly roll the cover on and off your pool at the flick of a switch. As well as being functional, the roller is also compact and stylish. Safety is also extremely high on the agenda, being powered by a low voltage motor; and with no direct mains connection required, saving on installation costs.
