We'll need a little more information:


  • Where is the water being pumped from (well, stream, pond)?
  • What is the "head" that it needs to be elevated by?
  • How many litres per day will be required?
  • How many full-sun hours does the pump site get (on average) per day?


With that information we can give you a better idea of what will be required in terms of pump type/capacity and solar panel wattage.You'll almost certainly want a "pump maximiser" as well:
