This is perfect. I have rain barrels for my garden but use a hand pump and watering can to water the garden. But mostly I'm lazy and just use city water. I've got to do this project. I have a solar panel with a charge controller. So I'm already half way done. I just ordered the pump and battery from Amazon. I'll let you know how it works out.
Very helpful video! The pump suggested is "currently unavailable" on Amazon. Is there an alternative pump you would recommend that's currently in stock? Thank you so much!
"45 degree angle". As far as I know, the ideal angle for a solar panel is whatever your latitude is. If you're at 20 deg north, face the panels south and tilt them 20 from horizontal. If you're at 45 degrees north, then 45 degrees is the right angle.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll have to look that up. I just did a quick search for the ideal angle and it was a range based on time of year and time of day. 😊👍
Nice video! To clarify, this is not a true MPPT controller, it’s really a PWM controller. MPPT is the brand name. This mislabeling unfortunately is a common issue with the less expensive Amazon/ eBay controllers. This charge controller also lacks true LiFePO4 battery profile charging so battery will only get up to 90% full. Not a problem if the limitations work for you. Back of napkin calculations indicate yours will for your needs.
Another awesome video.
I was just talking about off grid watering system with Justin.
Let’s do it!

You should market this. I'd buy one.
Thanks! Definitely would be great to buy it all in one package!
its already out there in one package.
How much?
How much would you pay? lol
@@Atr42Greasemonkey where?
Great video!
Does the water pump shut off when you let go of the trigger on your garden hose?
Yes, the pump shuts off when you let go of the trigger!😊👍
We're missing the link for the charge controller
Got it on there now! Thanks!
What does that mean? I just bought all the same stuff do do the same thing as you, what is this missing link?
