The primary factors are; your location (climate), pool size (surface area), and heating goals (how long your looking to extend your swimming season). Understanding exactly what your goals are will help determine how many panels you need.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0f1111; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolar pool heating systems are sized based on the surface area of your swimming pool, rather than its volume. This is because the primary source of heat loss occurs through evaporation at the surface. If you have a geometrically shaped pool, this calculation is quite easy. If however, your swimming pool is a \"freeform\" shape, or a \"kidney\" shape, this calculation can be a bit more difficult. For pools matching this second classification, satellite mapping can be used to help measure the surface area of your swimming pool.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally speaking, solar pool heating systems are sized anywhere between 50%-100% of a swimming pools total surface area.
