Solar Heat Panels

Mabel Said:

Do solar panels heat water continuously when they are on? (pools)?

We Answered:

It Depends on what kind of system is installed. Mine works also on cloudy days. It turns on when the collectors are warmer than water in boiler or pool. I can turn it off or it shuts off automatically when it gets too hot. When the boiler is hot is switches to the pool, when the pool is hot enough, it turns off. When the standing temperature is too hot or gets above boiling, it waits (normally overnight) until the temperature drops low enough not to cause damage to the circulating system. The glass and the thermostat are the most expensive material parts of the system. The circulating system is a closed one, filled with glycol, 2 pumps, 2 converters.
