Mac,
Sounds like the Shurflo 2088 series pump that Dan mentioned would
fit the bill.
We've used them PV direct with good results, just be sure to use a
PV module
with a Voc that's not too high for the pump.

Hi Wrenches,
Let me be a little more specific about this site.
Potential client has a pond that he would like to move water
to his garden. This pond is about 10 vetical ft below his
garden, and the garden is about 200' horizontal ' away. He
has a little shack about 20' from the pond that we will mount
the solar. He would like to flood irrigate slowly throughout
the day and just move a flexible hose around. As far as
budget, client hasn't been real specific. I have looked at
the Shurflow 9300 but was hoping for something that would
operate at a higher flowrate in exchange for not having the
high head capability (and perhaps less expensive). It does
need to be PV direct capable.
Thanks

Hi Mac;
I would be looking at something like the Shurflo 2088 series
and a
Linear Current Booster, with a check valve on the intake if
you can't
mount the pump below the water level. 75-100 watts of PV
should
perform just fine with that.
