Not necessarily. The solar collectors should just be installed where they can be in the sun a good portion of the day. Depending on the angle of the mounting surface, east and west facing systems can function equally as well. We like to see a minimum of 5 hours of sun on the collectors between the hours of 10am-5pm for a respectable performance curve.

Not necessarily. The solar collectors should be installed where they can be in the sun for a good portion of the day. Depending on the angle of the mounting surface, east, west and flat facing systems can function equally as well if sized properly for the pool.
