How far can I install the solar panels from the pump?

Update Time:2017/5/26

The Solar pumps we use work on low voltage so extending the cable too far will affect the performance and thicker cables need to be used to counter the volt drop.

We would not recommend extending the cable more than 100-120m depending on the size and voltage of the pump. It's best to increase the cable between the controller and pump and keep the cables between the controller and panels as short as possible to get the best efficiency out of the pump.
