Sungrabber solar panel flow rate calculation

[TRHOD12]

The leak is NOT from the panels, it is from the plumbing (abs sch 40) glued fittings going TO the panels, but NOT the actual panels.

The glued fittings will leak when I start moving water thru the pipes, but as the day goes on, the leaks will stop. This doesn't make sense to me.

Why???

If the leak is small enough and the pipe heats up, it could be that it is expanding enough close off the leak. There is PVC epoxy that can be used on the outside to seal small leaks.

Mark,

I'll look for that PCV epoxy.

Thanks for all your time on this and the other "winterizing solar panel" threads.


Blessings,
