| I don't know where you live, but plants will require pumped nutrient even when the sun doesn't shine for a long time. Solar pumping is more complex than it seems. |
|
| only slightly. pump when you have sun, to lift the water. gravity is present all the time. the alternative is to switch to a 12v DC pump run off a battery or two and a solar battery charger. |

| you dont have to use a solar pump only, its just a way to save energy, its not rocket science |

| It is exspensive to run solar . I wanted a small fish Air pump and average Water pump. To get that to work . I need to buy a 80 watt solar panel($800), inveter($39)convert dc to ac ,GPR-22 digital regulator ,car battery . It would cost about 1000 bucks. Also It doesn't mean I get the power I need to run the system.Here's a cool system you can buy . http://www.watercircle.com.sg/solar.htm I cost about $1066.48 us dollars plus shipping and the cost wiring the money.it looks like a cool system. |
