Anyone have any feedback on these 2'x4' panels that are supposed to be as good as a full size roof panel? I have seen a few questions posted but no real feedback. All 3 of my local supply stores are pushing these. I want to know if they are worth a $250 investment each as I will need at least 2 for my 15x30 pool.

Wow! first post in five years!! How did that happen? Please add your city and state to your profile.
Welcome to TFP!!!Solar heating is all about sqft exposure to the sun. IIRC the glazed panels are only helpful if you have a very large temp difference between the air and the pool water. Generally the non-glazed panels will provide more heat per sqft in typical pool applications.

Not possible. Solar pool panels in many cases are well over 80% efficient and you can't exceed 100% efficiency. Solar is mostly about capture area. Do you have a link to the panels?
