Now that you’ve decided going solar is the best decision for you, you have to decide what solar panels are worth it. You’ve already put so much money into your pool, so you want the best of the best when it comes to panels and Heliocol is the best. Heliocol has been around for 30 years now and is used by top companies like: Sandals Resorts, Sheraton Resorts and Disney to heat their pools. They were also used to heat the pools in the Summer Olympics and are used by the military. Wherever they are used, they are known for setting high standards. Here are some of the reasons why Heliocol solar panels are worth the price:
Warranty
Usually a heater comes with a warranty that generally lasts around 1-5 years. With Heliocol panels, you get a limited lifetime warranty to make sure you are protected. Along with that your parts, panels, and labor are covered for 12 years. These panels are made to last you a long time, but the warranty protects you against any manufacture defects or freezing during the colder winter months.
Low Maintenance
You are saving money and saving the environment, but you don’t want to do this to add more work onto what you already have to do. Luckily for you, Heliocol panels require little to no maintenance. For cleaning the panels on top of your roof, all you really need to do is get a garden hose and spray away any small debris that may have landed on it. You should do this regularly, just so the debris doesn’t affect the performance of the panels. When it comes to maintenance of the parts, there is no maintenance tightening of the panel clamps and they last the lifetime of the system.
Roof Protection
When placing something that is permanently going to be on your roof, you start to wonder if it will damage it. No need to worry! Heliocol panels are the most recommended by roofers. The patented mounting system has no straps and can still withstand winds without them. With less straps means less penetrations into your roof. It is the only one in the industry that mounts in the trusses of your roof. This ensures that there will be no leaks for the life of the system and your roof. The design allows your roof to breathe and doesn’t allow moisture to build up.
Heating Standards
The reason you decided on solar heating is because you want your pool warm. You want something that is going to heat your pool fast. To measure thermal performances the rating is in BTUs (British Thermal Unit). It is measured per square foot per day and the higher the BTU the better the heating power is. While competitors average around 580,000 BTU’s per square foot per day, Heliocol has 608,970 BTUs per square foot per day. When judging per panel per day, Helicol still comes out on top measuring 76,121 BTUs while competitors are ranging from the 60,000-73,000 mark.
Quality Equipment
Overall, Heliocol panels produce more energy and last longer. Heliocol panels are known to collect about 4% more energy than competitors. They can withstand different weather conditions such as: hot and humid, strong winds, and if installed correctly, freezing. They are very durable and secured with patented gator clamps that go into the trusses of the roof, eliminating the need of unsightly straps. The components of the system use a unique injection overmolding process that makes it safe and maintenance free.
Adjusts to your needs
Your roof comes in different shapes and sizes. The panels also come in different shapes and sizes, so finding ones that fit your roof won’t be a problem. Heliocol is also the only solar panel that is appropriate for flat roofs. The individual tube design maximizes the coverage of roof space to be as efficient as possible. If something prevents you from placing solar panels on your roof, they can also be placed on the ground, on your fence, or on your patio.
Costs

There is no maintenance for the system and you have a limited lifetime warranty plus are covered for the parts for 12 years so you can eliminate all of those costs.
