Re: Solar Panel Install
We mounted 3 of the 2x20s and fed each one rather than in a series. They are mounted 2 high on one side and side by side - 2 up - 2 long. We have a rack about 3' from our pool made of 6 - 2"x52" pvc posts into the ground with concrete with a 45 deg bend up another 52", pvc running across top, chicken wire base and 3 2x4 redwood supports off the top to the ground. The whole thing is about 41' long - the panels "dip" a bit when they lay in the wire but not a lot. Its all plumbed together with pvc and rubber connectors, then flex hose from and to the diverter and to/from the pool. Its all constructed on the north side of our pool, between the pool and some pine trees. Kind of creates a kind of "pergolla" effect behind it with some shade for storage containers, cleaning tools, a thermometer/clock and we put hooks on the bottom of the underwire to hang the leaf rake, pool brush, towels, ect. It was the only place we had to put panels and get sun for heat. You can probably see some of it in our pic posted in the gallery.
Beats driving to the lake!
