Are you saying you are trying to run that pump directly off of that one panel?

Hi,
So i think you should try this system with 2 small batteries such as 12ah 12v, MPPT 24v, and solar panel. I think it should work.

The Solar Panels have what is called a maximum power point. What this means is that they produce maximum current at a specific voltage. If you just connect a Solar Panel to a load then it will only produce a fraction of the power it is capable of. That is the job of the Mppt controller.

In order to get this to work you will probably need to add a battery and a controller.
