We are new to the forum. We are a Solar business called Commodore Solar based in Shepparton Victoria.

Would you be able post some photos of a solar pump system you have installed. It would be great to see what components are involved and more information on the various types, sizes, etc…
Absolutely. Some of the most common applications for Solar pumps are when farmers are putting down a bore, with this horrific drought there are bores going down left right and centre. The simplicity of solar pumps is a major attractant there is fuel or electricity required meaning you don’t have to physically go and turn it on plus there is no ongoing costs to run it. Anything from windmill replacements up to full irrigation is feasible with Solar pumps.
Attached is one of the common solar bore pumps that we use.
