A PV Powered Pool Pump Installation

When Bruce looked at where his electricity was going, he found that about a quarter of his electricity use was to run his pool pump.   He decided to install a new pump that would be run from PV modules. 

Bruce's report below gives details on the design and installation of the new pump, and on how the economics is working out.  The drop in PV module prices in the 6 years since the system was installed, the payback period would now be substantially shorter.

Thanks very much to Bruce for sending this in!
