Techno-Solis solar collector 4' x 8' (32 ft²) for pool heating

Techno-Solis solar panels are visibly thicker and more robust than any other solar pool panels. This is because they use up to 35% more raw materials, which means that they last several years longer, attract more heat and reduce heat loss. As well, Techno-Solis uses the same high quality polypropylene throughout the entire panel, which eliminates weak spots caused by expansion and contraction during temperature changes – an important feature, particularly in North America.

Techno-Solis solar panels have easily surpassed all quality and performance standards set by the various solar testing agencies, such as the Canadian Solar Association (CSA), the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC), and the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC). Techno-Solis is also a member of the Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA), and is recommended by CAA-Habitation.

Techno-Solis tests every single solar panel before it leaves the factory, thereby ensuring a solar pool heating system in perfect working order. In addition, we offer a 10 year warranty, as well as a limited lifetime warranty. Homeowners can therefore rest assured that the pool will be heated for free by the sun, without headaches or hassles, for many years to come.

How does it work?

Black polymer plastic panels capture the energy from the sun. Using the pump from the filtration system, water is circulated through the solar panels where it is heated and then returned to the pool. The system is designed to work with the existing pump, which does not need to be situated near the solar panels.

A valve, either manual or automatic, controls the flow of water into the solar panels. The automatic option responds to changing temperature conditions and adjusts accordingly to provide optimal comfort at all times.

The surface area of the solar panels should be at least half the surface area of the pool, in order to function properly. Such a system can raise the temperature of the water 3 to 4ºC.


These figures apply to southern Canada (for northern area, add 2 to 3 panels).

Other factors may affect the number of panels needed: e.g. a pool in a shaded or windy location, the use of the pool cover, etc.
