Hello
It also requires a VICTRON 55W / 12V 4A series solar panel + Victron BlueSolar PWM-LCD & USB 12/24V-5A + Victron BatteryProtect 12/24 65A + VICTRON Energy AGM (Maintenance-Free) 12V - 14Ah / C100
To connect to a pond pump and a water feature pump.
This kit is initially designed for a single pump, but now that I have another one, I wanted to know if I can add it to the attached diagram and how to connect it?
The pump connected directly to the panel works fine. If I can’t connect it to the Victron accessories, could I connect it directly to the solar panel along with the diagram?
Regards
Antonio
How many Watts or Amps do the pumps require.
I think 35W DC 12Volt each one
You will need 2 solar panels then and a 10A controller, the drawing with a 55W solar panel and 5A controller is really only good enough for 1 pump. You might be able 2 run 2 pumps direct from the solar panel but they would only run at full speed in the strongest sunshine.
Thanks for the explanation.
Is it possible to connect one pump directly to the board and the other as shown in the diagram?
If you mean one pump to the battery and one direct to the solar panel then that may work, but if there is not enough light then the pump on the solar panel will run and the battery will discharge running the other pump. The only concern connecting them to the panel is making sure that the voltage stays low enough to avoid damaging the one pump, if there is lots of sun then the 2nd pump and battery should be running / being charged.
Yes, that’s what I meant. Understood. I think I’ll do the first option you recommended, using two solar panels.
Thanks for all
