Well, I finally got around to getting all my solar hooked up and running. I went up on the roof and felt my panels at the end of the run and they are still warm to the touch. Not hot, but not cool like the ones at the start of the run.
My question is, is there such a thing as having too many solar panels hooked up?
I have a 15,000-18,000 gallon pool. Pump motor is 1hp I think. PSI with solar and a little bit dirty filter is about 18 (usually runs ~10, 15 when filter is real dirty).
I have 8 4x8 Heliocol panels. They are 1.5" on the main headers, as is all the rest of my pool plumbing. Panels on single story, pump at ground level.
Water coming out of returns is definitely warmer, but not as warm as I expected it to be.
Thanks for any help!!
