#diy #solar #grownostr can anyone recommend a kit to power a 24w pond pump during the day?
Is it as simple as setting up a solar panel, charge controller, inverter, plugged to your pond pump?
Any kit recommendations? Never done it before, would love to expand the homestead (backup power for window AC and fridge in times of trouble).
The pond pump seems like an easy first project. Picture of the pump. I have 3 running currently on mechanical timers, great pumps.
With an ac pump that system would work. With a DC pump, you should be able to wire the solar panel directly to the pump. The pump runs when the sun is out.
I remember seeing a Geoff Lawton video where he uses this setup to aerate a small part of a pond that can be blocked off. He occasionally would feed them in there too. Harvesting was easy with a net once the fish were trapped.
I don't have any recommendations, I'm looking to get some solar this year too.
Please specify the fish species you are supporting in your pond nostr:nevent1qqs00f57dn4vyd65qdxvrv25563js8awuu63hyj8px46jfrzl0p578qzyp9gyl6j45wrwtad5p4xnerctnycghne9jak65cyz8rvufafdnhh6ypjyjd
