Fenix Pool Solar - FAQs and Reviews

FAQs

How does Pool Solar work?

Pool water is pumped through the filter and then through the Fenix solar collector(s), where it is heated before it is returned to the pool. In hot climates, the Fenix collector(s) can also be used to cool the pool during peak summer months by circulating the water through the Fenix collector(s) at night.

What size Fenix Pool Solar System do I need?

Sizing a Fenix Pool Solar System involves many factors:

• Pool size
• Length of swimming season
• Average regional temps.
• Desired pool temperature
• Site's solar resource
• Collector orientation and tilt
• Collector efficiency
• Blanket or Liquid Blanket?

Basically, the surface area of your solar collector should equal 80%–100% of the surface area of your pool. In cooler and cloudier areas, you may need to increase the ratio between the collector area and the pool surface area. Adding collector square footage also lengthens the swimming season.

How do the Fenix Pool Solar Panels mount to my roof?

The Fenix Pool Solar Panels use the patented “gator” mounting system that’s designed for tile roofs. The “gator” mounting system allows the Fenix Pool Solar Panels to mount to the surface of the tile - without touching the (FELT) paper that’s beneath the tile and works as your water barrier.

• Flat Foam Roofs = (Trex/Board).

We glue the Trex/Board to the flat foam roof and then mount the “gator” mounts directly to the Trex - preventing roof penetrations.

• Asphalt - Shingle Roofs = UniStrut.

We mount UniStrut to the roof with roofing Sika polyurethane and then mount the “gator” mounts directly to the UniStrut.
