Understanding our Solar Heating Systems and Accessories.

To build your custom Solar Heating System do the following:

 

1) Figure out how many Solar Panels you will need for your pool. The goal is to have your solar panel surface area (Length x Width) equal to 50% or 100% of your pool surface area (Length x Width).

Example. If you have a 15' x 30' Pool your surface area will be 450 sq. ft.

You choose the 2' x 20' Solar Panel system. Each panel gives you 40 sq. ft. of surface area. So you will need from 6 - 12 solar panels.

2) Here is a list of what is required:

    Purchase the Solar Panel System kit which usually includes 2-4 panels and a system kit (A system kit is required with each complete Solar System)

    Purchase additional Add-on panels until you reach the desired amount of panels

    For each additional add-on panel you purchase you will need a Panel kit (this includes the accessories necessary to connect the add-on panels to the system)

 

3) Here are some other Accessories that may help in the operation of your system.

Solar Diverter / By Pass Valve Kit - This is used to bypass the solar system and allow the pump run without water going through the solar panels.

Hurricane Roof/Rack Mounting Kit - This is a must have accessory if you live in south eastern United States with Hurricanes becoming a common occurrence.

Solar Auto Controller- Set the temperature and let it do the work. It will automatically turn on and off the solar depending on what temperature the water in the solar panels are.
