Bespoke, automated swimming pool covers of premium quality. Retain heat, protect your family, save water — Made in Bavaria.

Your pool, all year round

Warm, safe, economical — at the touch of a button.

A ROLLO SOLAR cover retains heat in the pool, improves safety for children and pets, and reduces contamination and evaporation. Made to measure for the shape of your pool — and integrated so it’s virtually invisible.

Rarely the cheapest. Always worth the price.

Let’s be honest: we’re not the cheapest option. But thin profiles, cheap colour pigments, glued end caps and short warranty periods only seem to pay off in the short term — and will be a source of frustration for years to come.

The comparison

What really matters.

Point by point — ROLLO SOLAR versus the market standard.

Saving energy
50–70%

Lower heating costs with the Design Cover PC Solar system. The translucent profiles harness the sun’s energy and retain the heat in the water.

These are indicative figures depending on the pool, location, usage and weather — specific savings cannot be guaranteed.

+6 °CHigher water temperature — at no extra cost
−70%less evaporation overnight
+4 weeksa longer swimming season each year
A safe pool cover as emergency protection
Safety

Safety that floats with you.

The solid cover can support the weight of children and pets and prevents anyone from accidentally falling in — tested and reliable.

  • Increases protection against falling in
  • No open water whilst away
  • Locked via radio control or key switch

Important: A cover increases safety, but does not replace the duty of supervision.

Tip: For maximum safety, make sure to include a support edge or a handrail in your plans.

Design. Pool. Cover.

Swimming pools are rarely open.
You can almost always see his cover.

A cover isn’t just a hidden accessory — it shapes the look of your garden. And you can tell when something’s good quality. You can tell when something’s cheap, too.
