    Default Re: Anyone have any pictures of their Solar Panels?

    When I get home I will take some pics of ours. We built a "rack system" for ours due to space/sun limitations. Our pool is in a natural alcove in the yard with woods on the E and S sides, pine trees on the north. There was not enough S side left to allow panels to get sun (shade from the woods.)

    The rack is 40' long along the N side of the pool - posts are 2" pvc sunk into the ground/concrete that are 54" high (angle back starts at top rail) then run at 40deg angle another 4' - braced at the back. The entire system has chicken wire to support - we have 4x20 panels the long way (40') and they are connected in the middle so they receive and return at the same time (parallel not from one to the next) The system looks like a pergolla and we actually hang our pool cleaning tools and lovely plants off it. Works great, saves space. Hard to explain, pictures when I get home.
