Hi everyone,
I am quite new here, I started using solar only a few weeks ago so, my situation is: currently I have 1000Wp of solar panels that I use to pump water (with a DC solar pump), and the pump is used less than 30 minutes a day so, I thought it is such a waste to have 1000Wp solar panels used during roughly 30 minutes. So I plan to buy other solar panels (ca. 1500 or 2000W) and start an on-grid system.
Do you think it is possible to put the existing panels in series with the new ones and use a switch or something to disconnect the solar panels when I am pumping water with my DC pump? Is there a simple way to do so? What may be the best practices. Thank you!
