Hello. We are new pool owners and are trying to find the best solar panels we can. Any info on what is good or what to stay away from would be greatly appreciated. We have a 15x30 above ground pool. Thanks
Look up some of Isaac-1 threads. He has a nice description of his DIY setup with brand comparisons.
Here is his install: Solar Panel Replacement / Update
I have seen some discussion from him about the various brands, but not sure what thread.
Efficiency wise, they are all about the same. Probably the only difference might be in the plastic lifetime but I really don't see how one manufacture could that much better to warrant some of the cost differences. They are just plastic tubes. I would just go by price and size to fit your needs.
