Solar hillside

FightThePower · Oct 15, 2022

I have posted pics of my solar install before here. I recently added more solar but these ones flow water. The array is 50ft x 13ft and next to it is an electric solar setup with 36Qcell 340w panels powering two solark12ks and two evault max batteries. The water rig is keeping my pool at 90F and is able to heat the hot tub to over 100F on hot days. I have both arrays on a steep hillside where grading was done and the hill was too steep to walk on.

Looks great!

Isn’t 90F a bit warm for a pool?

Naw, 90 is just right. We swim at night a lot and its better if its warm. On a really hot day about 85 is nice. In the off season when the weather is cool, the pool feels better at 90.

Pool is new this year also along with all the solar junk. Been a busy year. I was saving for a new house but prices got so high, we decided no new house, get a pool and solar junk and just enjoy what we have.

Hello, i used sunstar solar panels 13ftx4ft each, 12 panels total. I think helicol is the same parts made from the same factory.

The pool has a pentek controller and theres a jandy valve and temp sensor that take care of switching on the solar panel flow.

The whole thing sits on corrugated long span roofing panels. If you want some more info just let me know. I used the same setup that one of the local installers uses for the ground mount. We are friends with the guy and he was nice enough to tell us what he uses to mount the water solar panels on.

Thank you very much for the additional information, and replying to my post. I will reach back out and ask for additional information as I get closer to construction.
