From the Gulf beaches to Palo Duro Canyon, the second largest canyon in the country, and the dark night skies of Big Bend, Texans love their land. Every spring the bluebonnet, the state flower since 1901, turns Hill Country roadsides blue, and families stop for pictures in the flowers.
Texas takes its name from the Hasinai Caddo word for friends, which they also used to mean allies, and the state motto, adopted in 1930, is one word: Friendship. You can see it in neighbors who check on each other after a storm and welcome the new family on the block.

More than one in four Texans speaks Spanish at home.

From 1836 to 1845 Texas was its own nation, the Republic of Texas, and it is still the Lone Star State. Texans like to do for themselves, take care of their own place and know how things work.

Texas produces more energy than any other state and makes more electricity from the wind than any other state. In 2024 it was second only to California in solar power, and the same sunshine can run a backyard pool.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The same answers Sunny gives, in plain words. Your AI agent can read them too.
Yes. SunRay pumps are variable-speed, by-the-sun hybrid AC/DC pump systems: their speed varies with the sun, and the controller can set the RPM if needed.
A solar pool pump is a pool pump that runs on DC power from its own solar panels, so it circulates and filters your water while the sun is up. Every SunRay pump is a hybrid AC/DC pump, made for pool owners who want the sun to do the daily work.
Runs 100% on the sun. You don't need AC at all. Home AC power is optional and capable.
A complete SunRay kit pairs the hybrid AC/DC pump with solar panels sized for that pump. If you already have panels, you can buy the pump only.
SunRay complete kits run from $1,999 for the 1/2 HP to $5,999 for the 3 HP, each with solar panels sized for its pump. Already have panels? The pump alone starts at $999.
It is a pump that runs on DC power from its solar panels and can also run on home AC power. With AC connected, the pump can draw on it automatically when needed.
Start with a sunny spot for the panels, your pool plumbing and the instructions for your SunRay kit. A qualified local installer can check the mount, the wiring and any permit your town asks for.
Match the pump to your pool's gallons: 1/2 HP for above-ground pools of about 1,000 to 5,000 gallons; 1 HP for above-ground pools over 5,000 gallons and in-ground pools from 5,000 to about 20,000 gallons. Move up to 1.5 HP up to about 25,000 gallons, 2 HP up to about 35,000 gallons and 3 HP above 35,000 gallons.
Yes, in-ground pools from 5,000 to about 20,000 gallons take the 1 HP kit. Bigger in-ground pools move up to the 1.5, 2 or 3 HP kit.
Sunlight hits the solar panels, they make DC power, and the pump turns that power straight into water flow through your filter. When you connect home AC power, the hybrid pump can also bring it in automatically when needed, such as for a spa after dark.
The best pump is the one sized for your pool and your sun. SunRay makes hybrid AC/DC pumps from 1/2 HP to 3 HP, so you run on sunlight and still have home power when you want it.
Right here: we sell SunRay solar pool pump kits to pool owners across Texas, and each order ships to your door. Sunny can help you pick the kit and check out in English or Spanish.
It depends on the pump, so each SunRay kit is complete, with solar panels sized for its pump. Choose the kit by your pool's size, and the panels come matched to it.
Yes, the 1/2 HP kit is made for above-ground pools of about 1,000 to 5,000 gallons, and the 1 HP kit takes larger above-ground pools over 5,000 gallons. Both come complete, with panels matched to the pump.
Yes. NREL's long-term solar data give a south-facing panel about 4.8 peak sun hours a day in Houston, 5.4 in Dallas-Fort Worth and 6.5 in El Paso, averaged over the whole year. In July, when pools work hardest, it is about 5.4 in Houston and 6.4 in Dallas-Fort Worth.
They do: under clouds the pump follows the light, running slower and speeding back up as the sun returns. For a long gray spell, optional home AC power can take over automatically when needed.
It does: a SunRay pump moves your water through the same circulation and filter system. Tell Sunny your filter model so the kit matches the flow you need.
Yes, for most pools that get good sun: the pump does its daily work on sunlight instead of on your power bill. You can save up to 30%, depending on your sun and your electricity rate. Your quote shows the earliest payback against the kit price.

Yes. SunRay uses the sun for daytime circulation. Home AC power is optional and capable; connect it if you want the pump to run after dark. The hybrid system can bring in AC automatically when needed.
