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

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.

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?
They are the same thing basically. Pool Cover, Solar Cover, solar Blanket are all used interchangeably. It's basically some material, usually a plastic bubble mesh or vinyl covering that goes over the pool. The exception to this is Winter Cover which generally is heavier and designed to protect your pool during long winter months.
Can you use both a solar cover and the liquid solar cover Is there any advantage to it?
You can use both but the only advantage would be that you would still gain some heat and evaporation prevention from the liquid cover while the standard solar cover was off or while swimmers were present. When the standard cover is on you will gain very little benefit from having both.
How to protect your trees?
Water them, do not use pesticides, and cover them in the frost of the winter.
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.
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.
What is an ETF that cover Solar stocks?
KWT and TAN both cover the solar space.
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.
How do you use solar energy at your house?
My bedroom faces South, it gets nice and hot even on a Winter's day.
