Choosing the Right Location

Whether you need roof or ground installation, you need to ensure that the solar panels are strategically positioned to capture the maximum sunlight. Southern-facing orientation (azimuth) is essential to optimize sun exposure and minimize shading throughout the day to improve system performance. The angle of inclination has a significant role, and a general rule of thumb is to match it with the summer equinox for maximum pool heating.

Connecting Pool Collectors –

If you want efficient pool heating, you should install multiple collectors in series, up to a maximum of four. Larger pool heating systems may benefit from a parallel connection. Two parallel rows of four solar flat plate collectors, for example, can outperform a single row of eight in series. When connecting these pool collectors, you can use the reverse return technique to ensure that equal pressure drops and flows across every panel.

Using Automatic Solar Air Vent -

THERMAX Extreme water heating kit comes with an automatic solar air vent. Proper air removal is essential to ensure optimal system performance. Install the vent at the highest point in your solar pool water heating system to facilitate eliminating air effectively.

Considering Roof Mounting Kit -

The roof mount kit is specifically designed for parallel mounting, sitting 3-4 inches off the roof to prevent damage directly. Featuring X & Y axis mounting brackets, this mounting kit provides flexible positioning, ensuring secure installation by accommodating trusses. The kit design facilitates easy roof shingle changes without compromising the system's integrity.

Choosing Ground Mount Stands -

Ground mount installations provide an alternative to roof mounting that eliminates the requirement for roof work. These stands can be placed in any optimal location without restricting the existing roof direction. Plates on the feet secure the collectors to concrete blocks that prevent damage from heavy winds. The standard 45-degree angle ensures efficient system performance, and the ground mount design allows easy cleaning without climbing onto a roof.

Conclusion -

Are you thinking about installing a THERMAX Extreme solar pool heating kit? If yes, then you should know that its installation requires careful consideration of orientation, mounting angles, and proper connection techniques. Whether you need a roof or ground installation, maximizing sunlight exposure and ensuring system efficiency are essential.

By following these guidelines, you can harness the power of the sun for your pool heating needs and contribute to a greener and more sustainable future. Please contact Northern Lights Solar Tubs at 1-800-759-8990 for further details on the THERMAX Extreme solar pool heating system.

5 Reasons to Switch to Solar Pool Heating System

When considering solar water heating systems , most pool owners are familiar with the benefits and affordability of using solar energy for heating their pools. More often, pools are used on a seasonal basis and as such they are only utilized during the summer season. However, investing in a solar pool heating system can provide enormous benefits to pool owners. The solar-powered pool heating kits can be integrated in such a way that during summer they provide enormous heat energy to pool and in winter they provide space and home heating as well as residential hot water. That means solar pool heating systems can minimize your heating bills throughout the year and are the only options for indoor pool owners looking for a perfect alternative to heating their pool during winter. If you are still not convinced about switching to solar pool heaters, please read the post and know why. 1. Extends your swimming season: Do you find your swimming pool too cold to enjoy? So, you migh...

Understanding the Types of Northern Lights Solar Water Heaters

Solar water heaters are the easiest possible ways to harness the solar energy directly. Northern Lights pre-packaged solar water heating kits are easy to install and provide unparalleled performance and safety. They are widely used in commercial premises like hotels, Laundromats, restaurants, car washes etc. Here are a few types of solar water heaters discussed below: Pre Heat Solar Tank System Pre Heat Solar Tank System comes with two tanks, first is a solar pre heat tank and is a basic solar hot water storage tank. This pre-heat tank is used to provide warm water to an existing hot water tank. This heating kit is the most common retrofit as it utilizes the existing hot water tank and requires very little retrofit to the plumbing. The main supply line is routed to the pre-heat tank and drawn back into the supply after it is heated. However, the most efficient solar water heaters use the basic theory of stratification. In the stratification process, the solar water heater...
