Solar Panels For Water Heating

Dora Said:

Can someone help me with advice on EPDM solar panels?

We Answered:

Well, you will still be fighting evaporative cooling, so you still need to cover the pool as much as possible in the heating months, unless you use excess paneling and keep the pool temps on the high side. Also, you still have to pump all that water, so even though you are cutting down significantly on your electric or gas use, you still have a notable draw. Other than that, aesthetics are about the only other thing I can think of that folks have issues with. You need a lot of square footage, and you can't really hide them.
