☀ Hello Sunshine
Hello Sunshine specialises in solar pool heating and renewable hot water systems across the Algarve. Based in Santa Bárbara de Nexe, Mike Rumble's team designs and installs everything from low-maintenance direct solar panels to hybrid photovoltaic-thermal systems and bespoke pool covers — so your pool stays warm long past the summer season.
Profile
At its heart, Hello Sunshine does one thing exceptionally well: it makes swimming pools warm. That might sound simple, but the team's approach is anything but. They survey your pool, your roof, your usage patterns, and your energy setup before recommending a solution — because the right solar heating system is specific to your property, not generic.
Their direct solar systems are the simplest, most maintenance-free option available in the Algarve. For properties that need more, they offer indirect thermal heating and hybrid photovoltaic-thermal panels that generate electricity and heat simultaneously. For new builds or renovations, they design custom installation structures — elegant pergolas and carport-style frames — that turn a practical requirement into an architectural feature.
They also supply and fit bespoke pool covers, which retain heat overnight and in cooler months, and can install firefighting reserve systems for properties in rural areas. For households and businesses wanting hot water from the sun, their thermosiphon systems bring the same solar logic to domestic water supply.

Why Choose Them
Mike Rumble has been installing solar heating systems across the Algarve long enough to know exactly what the region's microclimate demands. His approach is consultative rather than prescriptive — the recommendation is led by what your property actually needs, not by what's easiest to install.
The systems Hello Sunshine installs are designed to run without intervention: no pumps to maintain, no complex controls to manage. In a region where many homeowners are away for months at a time, that reliability matters as much as the warmth.
