    _______________________________________________________

    Vortex Panels - Quality Solar Collectors:
    • Industrial grade polypropylene plastic
    • Carbon black - superior absorption
    • UV Inhibitors - prevents deterioration


    SINGLE 4x12 VORTEX Solar Panels may be ordered in any
    quantity required. Each solar panel comes with one accompanying
    Vortex Panel Kit included with purchase of each Single Panel.

    The Vortex Panel Kit is necessary [one per panel] for the mounting
    of each individual panel to the roof or rack, and for connecting it to
    the adjacent panel.

    Note: When ordering - enter the number of panels required in
    the "quantity" box - after clicking the "Add to Cart" button above.

    _______________________________________________________


    SINGLE Solar Panel Applications:

    • Custom Configurations
    Single Panels are ideal for adding one or more different sized
    panels to a Standard, Deluxe, or Premium Kit for the purpose
    of creating a custom configuration to accommodate complex roof
    designs. [See specific notes and examples directly below*].

    • Replacement or Repair
    Single Panels are also perfect for replacing one or more panels
    on an existing system in need of repairs [VORTEX will connect to
    most other manufactures products – see product specifications].

    • Boosting Operating Temperature
    When high temperatures are desired or required, increasing heat
    higher than standard operating temperatures of 80-85 degree range
    on a new or existing system can be achieved by simply adding
    panels [See Specific Formula Sizing Guide for detailed instructions].

    • Improving Poor Performance
    Adding one or more panels to an existing installed system is
    an excellent way to increase the inadequate heating performance
    of an under-engineered solar pool heating system.


    *Custom Configurations Note: Combining different size panels
    requires the use of a Split Kit; purchase in the product listing section.

    *Custom Configurations Example: Combining six 4x10s on roof A
    with two 4x12s on roof B. In this example the customer would order
    a six panel 4x10 Standard, Deluxe, or Premium Solar Heater Kit,
    and separately order a quantity of two additional Single 4x12 Panels,
    which include accompanying Hardware Kit for each panel, plus one
    Split Kit.

    IMPORTANT Note: Special discounts are available on large quantity
    orders, and for licensed pool and building contractors; please contact
    a Customer Service Agent.
