How To Secure Solar Panels For Swimming Pools To Roof

We install aluminum flashings at the lower header junctions to eliminate the risk of long term abrasion from hose couplings.

How to secure solar panels for swimming pools to roof.

Slope this line down the roof toward the inlet approximately 1 25mm for each 6 collectors in the row. For example if your pool is 10 by 15 square feet 0 93 by 1 39 m 2 your pool s total area is 150 square feet 14 m 2. These will secure the pipe to the wall preventing it from moving or shifting. 2 using this point snap a chalkline to the opposite end ofthe row.

Place the solar collector panel where it sees the most sunlight when the pool pump is running. First the panels are installed on a nearby roof that receives a decent amount of sunshine for at least 6 8 hours a day. Throughout your solar panel installation maintain a consistent pipe size for the pipes that run to and from your solar panel s location. To have a noticeable impact on your pool water s temperature your solar panels must be at least half as big as your pool s area.

Refer to figure 3. Generally this is about 1 5 to 2 inches. Keep the solar panel out of the wind as much as possible. Water is then circulated up to the solar panels using the swimming pool s normal pump and filter system.

If you place the solar collector panel on your roof try to minimize resistance to the water flow. The collector outlet headers will be located approx imately 1 25mm below this mark. By virtue of using a header clamp along the top header the panel couplings are naturally suspended above the roof cradled above the roof surface and allowed to expand and contract as needed.
