Greetings everyone, I have been devouring information on solar and have now found myself at a point where I need some sage advice on a setup.
The situation, running a 1400W pump that only needs to be on during the day. So about 8-12 hours of use.
We get an average of about 6 hours of peak sun.
I was looking at a,
2000W continues power inverter,
100A charge controller,
1 of 200Ah 12V Deep Cycle AGM battery
1 of 500W-ish solar panel
My question is would the panel provide enough charging to the battery while the pump was in use? or would it be better to get 1500W of panels to keep up with charging the battery?
The battery is essentially acting as a buffer and not so much as storage.
Trying to keep the system as small as possible.
Thanks in advance
