Hi mkelley....The panel is facing south....actually it is facing due south and gets sun about 90% of the day on the garage roof. The garage roof is a truss roof so the panel is on an incline installed on the roof shingles (whatever angle the truss roof is at).
Matt4x4....thanks for confirming my panel is working fine....I will try the panel with the valve open fully to see if that makes a difference (with the valve open it only increases my gauge by 2 PSI). We do get a lot of days with some wind as I am near Lake Superior. The last few days we have had day time air temperatures in the 80s, but the evenings have been going down to 58 to 62 degrees. I will definitely start using the solar blanket to decrease heat loss at night.
cheers..John
