Thanks for your quick response guys, i will certainly look into solar pool pumps but suspect there expensive and will be out of my price range,NEOH, I am making my own panel with 0.5v per cell so would that be 48 cells giving me 24v to achieve the 200 watts?
thanks again Graham

You may consider a Solar pool pump. Solar pool pumps are made to run directly from Solar panels and newer models may now include a solar ozone salt generator too. Most pool pumps only runs during the day anyway.Leave a comment:

Pool pump
Hi all can you please advise me on the making panels, I have made18 volt panels in the past to power lights (LED) and a car radio in my workshop, purely as a hobby with interest in solar energy, I have a 2hp 240v mains electric pump on my swimming pool which is costing me a fortune as its quite a large pool, what I'm thinking about doing is installing a solar 12/24/48volt submersible pump that requires 120watts I would the run the water back into the pool via a filtration box of some sort, I will still have to use the 2hp pump but hopefully not as much, the question is how many 12/24v panels would I need to give me 120 watts.
thankyou for any help you may be able to offer
graham
