We are a small community garden with no electricity. We already have a system to pump water up to a tower but the watering is gravity fed. We are looking into getting a grant to expand our system to use a sprinkler system and I need to get a price quote for a solar powered generator.
(1) I need to run a 12VDC / 17Amp irrigation pump for one hour before dawn six days a week. I would like to buy a solar-powered generator to do this. I could also do this with a 120vac 300-watt system.
(2) Also, I need a 120 VAC / 300-watt existing pump for 30 minutes (as opposed to one hour above) with no sun. It must switch OFF when the sun is available.
I am going to put in a quote for the grant for both systems so I need to find a company that can supply (1) a generator for the first one; (2) a generator for the second one, (3) a generator powerful enough to do the two together. I know this could be designed and built but to go into a quote for a grant it is best to have a quote from a reputable company.
