I hadn't read "Trying Something New" by Tom W, an antecedent post it seems.
I understand now. I was waiting impatiently for a question!!!
How about:
What is the present condition?
What is the desired condition?
What do you propose to do.
Studying the technology enough to have a basic understanding is the dues that must be paid up front is the price of admission, if you will! No one expects perfect from the new person. It is cooperative venture in places lie this, so, to ask for help, one must take the responsibility to make a strong first step.

Pretty much my point. Folks just need to show willingness to try on their own at least a step or 3.
This field combines several non trivial skill sets to accomplish useful results. None of them compatible with the "fast food" mentality many seem to have in this world now days.
Cheers.

He doesn't know where to begin. I have told him to start small with a solar panel. Then add a small charger and add a battery or two. Then add 200 or 400 watt inverter to drive a small pump. (Needs to pump about 1.5 gallons a minute.)
What size(electrically) solar panel do you recomend? How many panels are needed? A small charger should handle the job - I've seen small chargers for about $29.95 How many and what type of battery should he buy? If he can only get a 110 volt pump then a 200 watt inverter should be enough.
What say you, the experts? GeeMac[ Parent ]
Does it need to run 24/7?
If not, you can get fairly inexpensive solar pond pump kits just about anywhere. One probably won't move 1.5gallons a minute but you could get several and run them in parallel....unless you need significant pressure too.
Just a thought. take it easy[ Parent ]
