      A 60 HP pump is quite an awesome beast. There are not likely very many of them around. The power required to run it would be at least 50KW. So, it's a bold claim, and we often hear tall tails here, so a photo, or site details would give your statement some credence.

          And if he replies that he is using a linear current booster, that is basically a very specialized form of MPPT.

            When was the last time you ever seen or heard of a 50 to 70 Kw booster?

              Obviously it was custom built by the guy next door.

                  Grundfos makes DC well pumps that work quite well with solar.

                  What is more important is how much pump do you need.
                  What are the minimum daily or hourly gallon or liter requirements?
                  What is the size of the well casing.
