Pool heating with solar thermal system near Pickering

Solar thermal system to heat the swimming pool.

Wall brackets

It was not possible to put the panels on the roof so we have designed and manufactured custom brackets to make it possible to put the panels on the back wall of the pool building. The brackets are dipped galvanised.

Controller features

The new solar controller is not only controlling the solar circuit but also takes over the control of the pool pump.

Features:

  1. The pool pump must operate if the solar circuit is working
  2. The controller is monitoring the operation time of the pool pump. If it did not operate during the past 3 days at least 5 hours the pump starts
  3. There is a minimum operation time to prevent the pump from short cycling
