Does anyone in NY have a swimming pool solar heater for an above ground pool?


Question:
Did you install it yourself? I just got an estimate to install a system of 5 panels on my roof which is almost as much as the price of my pool . I see some systems on line which are less expensive. I get just about 4 hours of direct sunlight in various areas of my yard, not the 6 hours min. that is recommended. I'm not too crazy about attaching the panels to my roof which gets 6 hrs on half the roof.
generally, if you don't have the space on a roof where you can get at least 6 hours of sun, you might consider where else on your property you might get that much sun -- the panels don't have to be up in the air, you know.

You might just consider arraying a bunch of black water hoses (rather than expensive panels) in an area where the sun hits well, and see if that does any good.

Be sure to have a cover on the pool when you aren't using it, too.
