I can also use several small 12volt pumps with some smaller solar panels i have which are 9volts each... can that be made to work just as long as i expect retarded performance?

I have a solar heated hot water heater, is the red pump on the front supposed to be VERY hot? This question for anyone who has a solar heated hot water heater (especially someone who works on them). So far we have noticed that the water is very very inconcistant. Blazing hot (160) one day and today for example was just luke warm ~105 for our morning shower. It has an electric backup. We ran the dishwasher last night but that's it! I noticed the red pump on the front (the one that sends the water to the pannels I presume) is very very hot. Way to hot to touch for more than a second. Is this normal? Any other ideas?

Need technical help with troubleshooting tips for water pump and controls for solar water heating system.? This is a 20 year old solar water heating system that has been woking fine up until just recently. It has a Grundfos A8207 pump, and Heliotrope General Delta-t+ DTT-74 control box. The lights at the control box indicate power there, but the pump does not appear to come on (even when switched to "manual mode"). How do I determine if the problem is in the pump, or in the control box? There are no obvious frayed wires etc, and no other apparent damage. Any helpful suggestions will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Installing a recirculating pump on a solar hot water heater? I'm having a solar hot water system installed in my new home. The exchanger in the tank is somewhat backwards in that the tank holds the solar heated water and the domestic hot water runs through the exchanger. My question is: How is the recirculating line connected to this system? I was thinking of connecting it to the incoming cold line (with a check valve on the recirc side).

What is the feasibility of a Solar PV system with Heat Pump in the SF Bay area? We are doing a major renovation to our house which requires a replacement of the heating/cooling system (sufficient for 2500 sq ft). Considering that California has a significant rebate program for PV cells, and the desire to be green, how long would it take to break even on a system of this nature as compared to a regular gas furnace/electric AC? We have great southern exposure, plenty of roof and alot of sun as we are in the South Bay.

solar pond pump for waterfall advice please? I have a pond approx 2.3 m by 1 m by 60cm and I was wanting to get a solar pond pump to power a waterfall. Does anyone know of a good product to get? or any advice at all would be good as I have never bought any type of pond pump before so i dont really know much about them. i know that solar pumps wont work at night (unless there is one that stores energy in a battery) so is that a big problem that the waterfall doesnt run at night for the welfare of the pond? also are pumps for fountains suitable for waterfalls if you put a different attachment on or are they completely different?
