Nooby here! No Solar at this point.
I am looking at a 1/4 Hp air pump that pulls 3.2 amps so thinking around 408 watts. I am in LaGrange Texas LOTS of sun during the summer when the pond/fish need to O2 the most if the air compressor can run during the day with sun and a few hours at night off of the battery I think I should be good? I thought a 400 watt would match the draw and was looking to do a 500 watt (2 x 250) panels to have a bit of extra? But now after reading 15 posts I am thinking I am off.
Is this a doable job/project or do I need to run power 700 feet? I really want to do and understand Solar and think it is a skill set I would like to have.
