Pool pump - Solar/Wind driven?

I would really love to be able to run the pool pump (inground pool) with
solar energy. Since the sunniest part of the day is the time (from what I've
read) when the pool water should be cycled I'd love to have the sun drive
the pump. Is this something likely? I have searched the net for solar energy
applications but have not found any application just for this which in my
mind would be perfect for pool owners.

I suppose even wind power would help although it's not very windy here in
the summer.

I appreciate any help/suggestions/feedback.

TIA

Indeeed a nice setup. That's what I'm looking for actually, direct
replacement of the pool pump so it doesn't need the regular grid to run.
Unfortunately I don't have the money right now and the next thing on the
list for the pool was to get a saltwater chlorinator.

I have bookmarked your site and will check out the forums as well.

Thanks,
