A solar cover will help keep the heat it gained from the sun that day in your pool. Evening temperatures are typically lower and the cooler airs 'pulls' the heat out of the pool. You can't see it except at a pool with a heater...you see like a 'fog' over the surface of the pool. So leave it on overnight to maintain the heat in the water
it should if the sun is shining
Yes, but less sun means less power
One of the often overlooked issues with solar power is that they do not work well in warmer temperatures. The cooler the temperature, the better they perform. Panels will often supply more power during the shorter winter days than the longer, but much warmer summer days. I see almost ten percent more power during the winter in Wisconsin. There is more manual maintenance though. Snow must be kept from the panels.
If your pool freezes over it may not be a good idea as they are not made for that sort of punishment.

Will a solar cover left in the pool under the winter cover over the winter ruin the solar cover?
If the water balance is correct then no it will be fine, but in my experience it's generally not so I'd advise to remove it, dry and fold, and store out of direct sunlight.
What is The difference in a solar blanket and a solar cover?
A solar blanket is a thicker and more durable cover that helps retain heat and reduces evaporation in a pool, while a solar cover is a lighter and thinner option that primarily focuses on heat retention. Solar blankets tend to last longer and provide better insulation, while solar covers are more affordable and easier to handle for regular use.
Can you use both a solar cover and the liquid solar cover Is there any advantage to it?
Yes, you can use both a solar cover and a liquid solar cover together. The advantage of combining the two is that the solar cover provides physical insulation to retain heat in the pool, while the liquid solar cover forms a thin layer on the water surface to reduce evaporation and heat loss. This dual approach can help maximize energy savings and heat retention in your pool.
How to protect your trees?
Water them, do not use pesticides, and cover them in the frost of the winter.
Which car cover will give me the best weather proofing during the winter?
Any polymer-based car cover will not let in any water and is great for winter use.
Why do they pull covers over a swimming pool?
To keep junk out (like leaves, twigs, etc) and to keep heat in. A clear solar cover is used to capture and contain daily solar heat in the water and not loose it to evaporative cooling. A winter cover is used to keep leaves and other debris out during the winter (non swimming) season.
Do solar cover reels really make it easier to remove the cover and is it worth the money?
My pool is 44 x 20. If I didn't have a reel, there would be no way that I could pull the solar cover off by myself. I think it depends on how big your pool is but I couldn't use my solar cover without one. I find my reel a pain in the butt! The cover never unravels evenly on both sides (round pool with reel in center). A: then your reel and cover are not installed correctly..... or is a very cheap model. our cover reel works great on a 16 X 24 above ground. In the winter I unbolt from the deck and hang it in the garage.
How do you keep a solar blanket from blowing away?
You can use a solar cover reel to keep the solar blanket securely in place. Alternatively, you can invest in cover clips or straps that attach the blanket to the edges of the pool. Additionally, make sure to store the blanket properly when not in use to prevent it from blowing away.
Does a solar powered generator home exist?
There are solar powered generator homes, but they are often passive solar, meaning they are designed to use the most of the sun's energy in both the summer and the winter.
What is an ETF that cover Solar stocks?
KWT and TAN both cover the solar space.
Can a solar panel generate the same amount of energy in winter time If not, what is the solution for that time of the year?
Solar panels can still generate energy in winter, but they may produce less due to shorter days, lower angle of the sun, and possible cloud cover. One solution is to install more efficient solar panels or use energy storage systems like batteries to store excess energy during the sunnier months for use in the winter. Another option is to supplement with other renewable energy sources such as wind or hydro power.
How do you use solar energy at your house?
My bedroom faces South, it gets nice and hot even on a Winter's day.
