I am new here, was researching on best way to go about my setup.
I have a 12v 200ah battery, powered by 2 x 250w mono panels in series, hooked up to a 50amps, 12v/24v fangpusun mppt charge controller. all this connected to a 12v 850va inverter. Now i want to add a submersible pump to the mix.
I am considering 2 options
A. buy a 12v 180w pump, and connect it directly to the battery, my major challenge is that its in a remote location, and i would only want the submersible pump to come on only when the sun is bright, so as not to excessively drain the battery. is there an easy way to conviently automate this??
B. buy a 24v submersible pump, and connect it at the pv input terminal of the charge controller, that way.the pump peeds off power from the pv, without drawing power from the battery. i would simply throw in a dc timer switch to enable power to the pump btw 9am and 4pm,
in the 2 options above, i would need to figure out how to wire a float switch to the overhead tank, so as to cut off power to the pump when full
