Harnessing solar energy is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to get additional months of use from your pool, year after year.With solar pool heating Sydney, the water of the pool is pumped through the collectors, which warm the water using the heat of the sun before returning it to the pool. For maximum sun exposure, mount your solar panels in a way that provides the best tilt and orientation possible.
Before investing though, it is essential to find out whether your property is fitting for solar pool heating Sydney.
How do solar collectors heat the water in the pool?
Once the controller determines the ambient temperature near the collectors is higher compared to the pool water temperature, it automatically directs the water through the solar system. The sun will heat the water flowing through the individual tubes and returns to the pool. When the pump circulates the pool water from the pool to the collectors multiple times, the temperature of the pool water rises quickly.
When the desired temperature is reached, the controller will stop directing water through the panels. When the controller senses the drop in pool water temperature, the pump will commence action once again and the water is heated once more. This is how you enjoy warm water with free energy.
Automatic or manual control?
When the pool requires heating and proper conditions exist, it is recommended to run the solar heating system using an automatic controller to direct pool water through the collectors. The automatic controller keeps track of the temperature of the pool water and around the collectors, making sure to reach optimal temperature.
The controller will stop and resume its operation automatically. On the other hand, if you choose the manual solution, remember that it usually relies on human memory.
Permit Requirements
Your solar pool heating Sydney project will likely require permits in order for the installation to happen. There are different regulations for mounting solar panels depending on your location. The local permit municipalities will be able to instruct on regulations for installations, wind lifts, inspections, etc.
Having a certified installation company with proper licensing and insurance will take proper sealant for penetrations, installation hardware, and attachment location all into account.
Consider the size of the solar heating system
Size is a vital consideration when choosing your solar pool heating Sydney system. This is because the proper size of a solar pool system is essential for producing the best results. Factor in these things when sizing a solar swimming pool heating system:
Length of the swimming season
Collector efficiency
Average regional temperatures
Use of a solar pool blanket or cover
Collector orientation and tilt
Pool size
If you do not have the available roof space to install the solar pool heating Sydney, you can install the collectors on straight surfaces, for example, the pergolas, the ground, or a rack. Make sure that they have direct sunlight exposure and all collectors are positioned close to one another.
The pools that are exposed to direct sunlight will have minimal energy loss. In cooler, cloudier, and shaded areas, you may need to increase the ratio between the pool surface area and the collector area. Also, adding collector square footage extends the swimming season.
