Solar Terrestrial Probes (STP) NASA's STP program is a continuous sequence of flexible, costcapped missions designed to systematically study the sun-Earth system. STP missions will focus on how and why the sun varies, and how Earth and the planets respond. http://stp.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Extractions: CA License # 819224 Through extensive collaboration with universities and gov't we've learned to simulate the performance of a solar pool heater with remarkable accuracy. We've verified these curves repeatedly with real systems and found excellent correlation. Below is is a typical pool in San Diego CA with a little pool shade, located near the water where the collectors are on a south facing roof. 100% solar means a solar heater sized at 100% (same size) as the top surface of the pool. We also have compiled curves for many major cities in the US. Go here for performance predictions more specific to your location and for a full discussion on sizing a solar heating system for a pool. Don't fall for the sucker sales pitch from the pool store that 80 sq ft of solar collector will heat even a small above ground pool. Our collectors are priced about 10% higher than equivalent competitors models sold at the lowest internet discounted price you can find. That's the price you pay for expert support and service. Our auto controls prices are better and our plumbing kits include more stuff. You'll see. Please read on. I'll tell you the bottom line when it comes to setting solar up for long term reliability. You can't expect a thin plastic collector to withstand extreme temperatures, thermal movement, aging etc all in combination with stress from pressure in the water. Take away the pressure and you compromise NOTHING. You simply allow the system to operate stress free the way it is intended and you've removed the source for problems. We end up solving other problems in this process and creating a harmonious smooth operating mechanical system.
