Hello everyone. I am a new homeowner in northeast Wisconsin and am fortunate enough to have a pond on my property!
I am hoping to build/buy an aeration system down by the pond. I have been doing some research and think I am going to make an attempt at using a solar panel to charge two 12v batteries with an inverter to run the AC pump.
My issue is, I would like to use the solar panel to run the pump during the day as well as charge the batteries, and use the batteries at night, I am just unsure of how I can make that happen automatically without over/under charging. I travel for work and am gone weeks at a time, so it would have to be an automated system on a timer. Below is a link on the kit I will probably end up buying/building, but they do not offer an option to add in batteries.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch
