Hello, I am looking for any advice anyone is willing to give on a new solar setup. I am considering setting up an off grid solar system near my pond. My primary purpose would be to power a small aerator pump (approximatly 60 watts). I'd like to run it 24x7 at least through April-September. I would be okay shutting it down over the winter as I already have a wind powered aerator as well, so I don't need to size my system for winter months (I live in Michigan near Lansing). I would also occassionally use this to power random things like a small fan, charging phones/devices etc as we are utilizing the pond. But this would be occassional use only and probably fewer than 100-200 watts at a time and almost exclusively during the summer months.
I also have the option of running power or an air line from my barn which is around 600 feet away from the pond. Solar was originally my first option but I
