Is that an amorphous, mono or polycrystalline solar panel? How many watts is it rated at?


I guess you could say I got the pump from myself. smile There are lots of distributors and you should be able to get them for around $200-$220.

It is a Gast pump and the performance curve says 1-1.2 cfm's at 3 psi. It uses 75W-80W at full speed running. I don't worry about start up with the LCB

Panels- I am testing both Amorphos, and poly. For this application, I don't see any advantage. I am using a 135W panel and a 150W panel. I am finding out there is no need for this much "over power" to compensate for the cloudy days
