I had a dc to dc converter attached but it wasn't working right, so I'm running it directly off the panel.
With the converter it had to be bright, direct sun to turn the pump on.
The amperage output is less than the pump, so it shouldn't burn it up.
My only concern was damaging the motor because of not enough amps.
It's been running since the ice left and no problems yet.
Put it in the water in April. Running strong for two months so far.
