Can you explain more on the pump? I looked at doing a rain collection here to supply a drip system, but I need so much pressure to make it work. I have a sump pump, but it pumps in bursts. I was curious as to what you had, if it was continuous, and if it was small enough to run on a small, localized solar power system.
We use a small 110 volt pressure pump, which is continuous and runs off of our inverted battery system. We tried a 12 volt pump on a separate, smaller solar panel, however, it did not have enough power to meet our needs.
