Darren, there is an old navy electronics man who designs climate and weather monitoring equipment for Kansas State agronomy. Of course, he would build all his circuits from board up and I believe there is no one more knowledgeable than Fred Caldwell Research Technologist 1704 Throckmorton Ctr.

I would recommend using a Grundfos SQ 120 or 240 volt AC pump on a timer. Because you mention using a conventional pump, I assume that there's AC power available? The SQ line is very efficient and has no surge at start up. And it's a lot less expensive than the SQF line of pumps. Roy Butler

Hi All – It’s interesting that I got only one response from someone who has actually used Solar Edge. Solar Edge is claiming that they have 20% of the residential market in the US. Anyway, sooner or later we will try a system or two with Solar Edge and I will let the list know how it goes.

Roy has an excellent suggestion...if you have constant AC power available. In fact, if you use the Grundfos SQE models, they come with a constant-pressure controller so you don't need a large pressure tank, and it also has dry-run protection features. Brian Teitelbaum AEE Solar

Jeremy, A Grundfos SQFlex model 3 SQF-3 will run on just two 250W 60-cell modules in series. At 600 feet of head, with 500W of PV, it will do just about 1 gpm at noon peak. However, if the static level is 200 ft in a 600 ft deep well, you have a lot of water storage sitting in the well

August, We have three of these systems installed. Production results are good. We experienced one failed power optimizer on the first system which was installed two years ago. This unit failed within two months of installation. We have found tech-support be good when we needed it. Email
