[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 845258, member: 6543"] there have been several threads on this site regarding solar pumping. try searching. I have a solar setup that I have been running for about eight years. did the whole thing for about two grand. my bigest tip is filter the water.....I use old panty hose over a old gallon jug to filter my inlet....keeps the trash from eating up your pump. I currently pump from a battery becasue there was no need to pump water 12 hours per day just becasue the sun was shining. I installed a timer and a contactor to run the pump to fill my storage tanks. for low lift applications you can use 12 volt pumps from an RV dealer that are a lot cheaper than the solar specialty shops. for deep lifts and high volumes you need the good heavy solar pumps and run em all day.
