Solar panels

Post by glalt » January 6, 2021, 8:10 pm

I have lost track of solar panel improvements. My wife needed water for her newly planted fruit trees. I already had a DC submersible pump. It needs about 280 wats of power. I thought sure that I would need two panels connected in Parallel. I sent her to buy the most powerful panel the dealer had. I thought sure that 320 watts would be the best they had. She came home with a 450 watt Jinko panel. I had no idea that high of wattage panel was available. Tomorrow I'll connect it and see what happens. I'm betting the pump will run fine, at least during peak sun hours and she needs probably less than a couple hours a day.

I still have a 5,000 watt generator and 1 HP submersible pump That would work but it is a pain in the butt for her starting the generator and keeping gasoline in it.
