Hey everyone! I'm planning to set up a solar pump system to fill a 2000-gallon tank for my greenhouse. The tank will be used for gravity irrigation to my orchard and garden. I have a well, and I'm looking for suggestions on the type of systems, sizes, and pumps that would work for this setup. Any tips or insights from those who have experience with solar pumps would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot!

You'll want to think about a few factors. Like, where's your water coming from? What’s the depth of your well? If you need to pump fast, you might be looking at a bigger system than just a simple 100-watt pump. Getting those details right will help you choose better!
For sure, more info is key! You need to consider the pump's depth and the speed you want to fill that tank. Are you looking to fill it in an hour or a whole year? Know the height of the tank and the distance from the well to get better recommendations!
Yeah, filling it up quickly is a whole different game! If your tank is elevated, ensure the pump can handle the height, especially if you’re doing gravity feed after.
