One or more panels can be joined to create more surface area.
To combat the heat loss, it is recommended to over-size a solar pool heater. Since a pool is open to the air, heat can be lost quickly. And the more BTU’s you generate, the greater the volume of water you can heat. The more surface area the solar heater has, the more BTU’s of heat are generated. You can use your existing pump to circulate water through black tubing which naturally absorbs heat from the sun and sends that heated water back to your pool. Solar heaters come in a variety of shapes and sizes but the mechanics are basically the same. With no gas or electrical lines to run, they are favored by pool owners everywhere! Solar panels are an eco-friendly way to heat your pool 10-20 degrees warmer, with do-it-yourself installation, zero emissions – and with zero operational costs. The sunshine heats the black mat and as water passes through, the heat is transferred to the water and returned to the pool. Pool solar panels are constructed of rows of small, hollow tubes made of black polypropylene (super strong plastic) or rubber that are seamed together to create a large surface area called a panel. What are Solar Heaters and How do they Work? To quickly qualify myself, I have four 2’ x 20’ panels on my garage roof and have installed dozens of solar pool systems on local residential pools.
