Pool Solar Panels On Metal Roof

A standing seam metal roof integrated with solar panels is a powerful combination of durability longevity.

Pool solar panels on metal roof.

The concept of combining pv arrays with standing seam metal roofing is growing for good reasons. While i don t know your surface area my pool is 11 500 gallon and 432sf of surface area with 200sf of solar panels. Unlike conventional solar panels thin film solar on metal roofs lays flat against the roof in direct contact. The suns free energy heats the circulating water returning it back to the pool at an elevated temperature.

Metal roofs have a life expectancy of more than 40 years. A metal roof provides similar challenges for the installation of solar pool heating panels as a rubber or one piece membrane roof. I have solar panel on my corrugated metal roof and not sure if the solar panel roof mounting is to blame as the rubber on top of the bolt is not covering the whole bolt head however there is a rubber between the corrugated sheet and bracket. However crystalline panels are bulkier and use a special mounting system which requires roof penetrations.

Metal standing seam metal roofing with standing seams is the best roof type for the installation of solar panels. Crystalline solar panels can generate twice the amount of electricity of the thin film solar panels. Thin film pv solar panels vs. Crystalline pv solar panels.

A solar pool heating system involves pumping pool water through a series of tubes known as a solar collector or solar absorber mounted on the ground or roof of a building. The result is that my ratio of solar panels to pool surface area is a little less than 50. On solar panel sizing pooldv i noticed that your pool is 20 000 gallons and yet you only have 240sf of solar panels. The main concern is reducing the number of roof penetrations to minimize the risk of any roof leaks over the life of the installation.

The reason why we love standing seam metal roofs aside from their superior durability longevity and energy efficiency is that you can mount solar panels over the seams of standing seam with the help of s 5 solar mounting brackets designed specifically for standing seam metal roof. The only exception is a standing seam metal roof. The standing seams on these roofs make the attachment of the panel array incredibly easy and with easier installation comes a cheaper cost. Our nor easter solar metal roof panels are cool weather optimized with a smooth solar collecting coating that allows them to shed snow easily.

This allows your solar installation to look discrete and natural.
