[QUOTE="Saddlebronc, post: 1397214, member: 27174"] Thanks...it's their N250RP2 system ([url]http://solarpumps.com/products/complete-systems/n250rp2-1350-gpd[/url]), which is preconfigured to meet NRCS spec...and was approved with no issues. Moderate clouds will slow it down some, but it still pumps. The larger panels in that system package don't require full sun to run this pump, which is part of the NRCS calculations requiring X gallons/head/day, on "average" weather days. I also have a controller which has a "minimum voltage" requirement to protect the pump. It requires a safe voltage level before it will engage the pump, so very low light conditions (including heavy/dark clouds) would shut it off completely. Between the 3 tanks this pump serves, I have over 2500 gal storage, so a few cloudy days aren't an issue. My herd isn't big enough yet to even make a dent. [/QUOTE]
