Number of Collectors (1 collector = 4 sections of 1 ft each)

Appendix 1:  

Pressure Losses in PSI for 8’, 10’ and 12’ 
Enersol solar panel 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Example:  

To  read  values  on  table  match  the  panel  size 
(collector)  width  (top)  with  the  flow  rate  (left  side), 
the  number  at  the  intersection  represent  pressure 
losses  of  the  panel  expressed  in  PSI.  i.e.  A  pool 
solar panel array of 20 feet wide (5 panels) by 8 feet 
long will have a pressure loss of 1.54 PSI at 30 GPM  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Important:

 Shaded numbers on the tables indicates 

excessive pressure losses on the panels. Care must 
be taken not to exceed panel capacity by means of 
restricting the flow going to the panels or by splitting 
the  array as  per  recommendations.

 

If  you  have any 

questions during the design stage of your solar pool 
heating contact us at:
