I agree the numbers don't look right on those 2 which is why I was asking. I found a vevor 48v pump that I did find a youtube video of someone actually testing. I'd have to get more solar panels, but it may be able to handle what I'm trying to do.

A few good reasons. The first is cost. I live in one of the most expensive places in the country for cost of electricity. So having a system where I don't need to pay to run it is very attractive to me. Another reason is I'm going to be installing this on a hill behind my pool. The pump is...

I found a few pumps that could work. Does anyone have any experience with this pump? At 24v, 200 watts, 1584GPH(26.4 GPM) it looks like exactly what I'm looking for. Or how about this pump? They have both 12v and 24v versions of that one. It doesn't put out as much but it's cheap enough that...

I have and I'm open to it. With my panels, I figured if I wire them in series, I can get 24v out of them. But now that I'm looking up my panels again it looks like in series I can get 37.8 Volts and 5.29 amps under optimum conditions. Which opens up the possibility of running a 24v or 36v pump...
