I bght them on Craiglist with a goldine controller for $260! They are 4x10 aquatherm panels ans are abour 7 yrs old. I then sold the controller on ebay because I didnt need it! Probably spent another $500-$600 on supplies. The pool is always at 87. I tested to see how high it would get and after it hit 94 degrees I figured that was enough to turn it down!
My planned solar layout

Wow. 400 sqft with a controller for $260 ... makes my deal of 550 sqft with controller for $600 not seem so good any more 
Looks great! Would you mind posting the pics of the plumbing at the equipment end? Also, if there's no dedicated return to the pool to use, is it ok to plumb one of the existing returns with a return from the solar?
Oh yea and did you end up painting the piping on the roof or you can buy piping in brown? don't think I've seen those before...

Very nice looking job. I am getting ready to have a pool installed in Feb and am very interrested in solar heat> Should I get my pool installer to add a seperate return line strickly for solar?
Thanks

I would suggest looking at this link for ideas on plumbing layout, etc http://www.h2otsun.com/pools/index.html
They have a lot of good information on general solar installation, but as to be expected there is a certain slant towards their panels.
