Yeah, I hear you neighbors pool sitting at high 60's...That's no fair.. I'm but a stones throw from you and my pool is in the shade and still battling the mid 60's
I'm pretty happy with performance, I was thinking of adding 2 more collectors. About 96sq ft... But at this point I don't think it's needed. Only running solar for about 4hrs

That is awesome!
I'm right around the corner from you in Antelope. Our water temp is sitting at about 78 right now with the solar cover on.
How concerned are you about roof damage with those panels? That is my biggest hesitation.
Maniacalmama,
I'm not going to lie, I was a little concerned with "putting holes" in the roof. Fortunately for me I was able to minimize the number of holes. The first array of panels is mounted on a detached 2 car garage. This particular structure was originally built with a flat roof. At some point over the last few decades the previous owner added the pitched roof. Basically it's a roof on a roof.
The second array I mounted on the flat portion of my roof. Instead of making holes I ended up building a mounting system/ mechanism that attaches to side facia of the roof. The rails have enough movement to allow expansion and contraction. This application worked out perfect for the type of collectors I used, wind resistant by design ( individual tubes)
