SOLAR PANELS
One of the most common questions about solar panels is; Does the
height of my house have any bearing on the performance of the panels.
The answer is not really because the pump pushes the water up to the
roof and once up there it has to come down, and as it does, it creates
a siphon effect that pulls water up to the roof so the pump does not
work any harder than normal operation.
The more panels you have means the water will flow through them
slower and will get warmer. A rule of thumb is that the square feet of
the solar panels equals the surface area of the pool.
The solar panels that are mentioned below are used in a very
northern city, Vancouver, B.C., Canada. If you have ever been to
Vancouver you will probably have had some experience with rain. We
have about 2 full months of sun in the summer interspersed with rain
and that brings down the temperature of the pool water considerably. I
also have large trees to the east of me and I don't get the sun on the
panels till about 9 A.M. and the sun has been up since 5 A.M. My house
roof slopes east and west. A lot of solar panel manufacturers say that
the solar panels should be on the west side of the roof for maximum
efficiency, that very well could be, but I swim when I get home from
work, and like to swim in 82 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit, 26 - 28 degrees
Celsius water. So the sun has been on the solar panels all day.
You can purchase a controller that actually controls the
temperature of your pool. It has a sensor in the return plumbing that
takes a temperature reading and another sensor in the line coming from
the pool, if the temperature in the pool is lower then the set
temperature, then the controller switches the valve to open and when
the pool water reaches desired temperature the valve closes. Now I
don't have one of those gadgets because the highest temperature my
pool ever got was about 32 degrees Celsius, which by the way is great
for night swimming. If I got 3 or 4 really hot days I just didn't turn
it on in the morning or I left the solar blanket off over night then I
lost about 5 degrees.
So if you want this kind of heat in your pool for free, because the
sun is still not taxed. Than take a look below and order your Solar
