Solar swimming pool heating makes sense. A longer care free swimming season with no fossil fuels burned. Our unique flexible vinyl solution fits the available space with a proven long term history of durability, freeze tolerance, wind, and weather resistance ensuring your investment endures. We can interface properly and correctly with almost all roofing systems.
A ballasted framework securely supports our entire Powerstrip solar pool heating system using locally available materials. Fitted row by row capturing the full solar resource available while providing an agreeable esthetic. Fully repairable, durable vinyl based fin tubing is freeze proof and compatible with pool chemistry long term. Hot Sun's Powerstrip fin tubing can run horizontally because it is flexible meaning it can freeze solid full of water without being damaged by the expansion of water as it freezes.

Hot Sun's history dates back to Vancouver BC in 1980 when a unique flexible vinyl based grid style solar collector named Solarmat was introduced.
Hot Sun founder, Ken Wright, took over the manufacturing operation in 1986, only 2 years out of mechanical engineering school.
The technology was tweeked and tested in Vancouver where hundreds of systems were installed in the 80's and 90's.
Hot Sun's work in that are also included conventional solar thermal, service and technology development.
Hot Sun moved to San Diego in 1998.

Each Powerstrip manifold corresponds to three 6 tube wide strips of fin tubing.
This nominal one foot wide section fits row by row never covering the ends of the tiles, the part you see from the ground.
Fitted to the roof space row by row we can angle the manifolds to match roof lines and we can go around vents.
Adhesives are used along with innovative interfaces for a very secure installation without risking roof integrity.

If we run the flow sideways rather than up the roof, we can take advantage of roof hips and valley areas providing a solution that matches the roof lines and takes better advantage of the available solar resource.
Shingle roofs must be penetrated in order to secure a solar pool heater.
Our concept starts with properly securing a framework to meet wind loading requirements.
Current methodology involves locating rafters and limiting position of roof hardware to rafter locations.
Hot Sun mounting brackets and flashings are located anywhere because the multi screw concept grabs the roof sheathing securely with best practices.

From 1996 to about 2014 our primary business model was manufacturing and supply direct to self installers all over the world.
The skills required to do the installation are not extraordinary but there are design aspects of this that can be tricky.
Hot Sun provides the expertise needed as part of our diy system offering.
Warning: You are working at height, and you are working with toxic adhesives and PVC cements.
You must have experience and knowledge in safety and related trades.
We have supported thousands of DIY projects completed over the years.

Residential solar swimming pool heaters are usually plumbed using the same size pvc pipe as the pool equipment, normally 2" or 1.5".
Notice in the typical arrangement shown in this schematic that filtered water flows through solar and then through the gas heater if there is one.
Sometimes we reverse this order to put solar in a more favorable pressure environment.
Less load on the pool pump means lower electricity costs.
The motorized valve sends water to solar when the roof sensor is warmer than the pool by a set differential of about 9 degrees C. If the pool is up to the setpoint temperature or insufficient solar radiation is available the motorized valve turns automatically so flow does not go to solar.
