Will 3 4×8 Novan Optima2 solar collectors be enough to heat a 40k pool? Flush mounted, facing south, SW. NM?

Have a east facing house in southwest New Mexico, will be flush mounting 3 4×8 Novan Optima II panels on south facing portion of the roof. Will these be enough to heat 18×36, 40K gallon pool 5-10 degrees? Am simply looking into extending swimming season for my kids. I got the collectors from a neighbor who wasn’t going to use them. They have been pressure-tested and appear to be in good condition. Apparently, they have not been used for some time.

Sorry, but it won’t work. To do it effectively you need 50% of the square footage of pool surface in solar panels. You are way short of that. Plus you have to factor in elevation. Best advice, don’t bother. Sorry.
