Until this thread, I forgot what our conversation was about maintaining close to 80 except Dec-Feb but am beginning to think the seven panels on the west side of the house are not sufficient for the 35' x 10" pool. Think I need to call Jack.

If you don't use the pool cover, I think you'd have a tough time maintaining 80-degrees, almost regardless of how many panels are installed.
Another thing to consider is the amount of water you lose thru evaporation during the cold, dry winter months. Without the cover, my pool looks lie a San Francisco fog bank in the mornings. That's all (expensive) "lost" water you'll have to replace.
