Quick Sizing Guide:



To manually calculate the amount of solar panels required, do the following:

1. Calculate the sq. ft. of your pool.

2. Multiply the sq. ft. of your pool by 50% (this gives you the minimum amount of square feet of panels required to start with).

3. Divide the sq. ft. of panel required by 32 and that tells you how many boxes are required (there are 32 sq. ft. in each box).

4. Add in a system kit.

5. Add in a 3-way valve or automatic temperature controller.

A number of factors affect the effectiveness of any solar system. Some of them are:

Wind

Amount of sun the pool and panels get during the day

Solar blanket

Is the pool indoor or outdoor?

How early in the spring and how late in the fall do you want to heat the pool?

Note: Normal coverage is 50% to 100% of the square footage of the pool depending on your conditions but you can start with 50%

and add panels later if you

want more heat.
