I am in the process of buying heating for my pool. I would like to go solar due to operating cost. I am looking into Fafco and Heliocol but came across SUNSTAR solar collectors by Plastic Magen Industries.
Any one heard or use these panels? Isn't Heliocol made by Plastic Magen as well?
Since I live in Miami, high force winds are a major concern. I want a controller and would like to extend my season all year round. And price is of some concern.
What should I be looking for?
Also, I was wondering why they use surface area to determine how many panels are needed. Why wouldn't you use gallons of water? I can see a 30x15 foot pool having a deep end and have the same gals as a 20x40 4ft pool. Yet the industry norm is to get the same sq ft of panels as the surface of the pool.
