<p>I agree, I would do one or the other. The main point to using a
LCB is so you don't have to have a battery. A battery system is
going to be much more versatile, and could allow an LED light, or
even a small inverter.<br>

<p>Thanks Jay ! I have project where I want to install a pump
in a tank for remote watering. If the LCB is used, have you
ever tried using a small ATV 12V AGM to allow the pump to
run in wildfire smoke or at night? Just a switch to parallel
the the LCB?</p>
<p>Anyone tried this? There are a bunch of LCB's on amazon
also.</p>

find some small maximisers/optimisers for a
solar-only pump. This would be for a
surface pump like the Flojet 11, 12 or 17
litre/min pumps. They tend to keep the pump
operating when a cloud goes over or in
low-light conditions. I think they are
available for the 9325 but its probably
over-kill for the Flojets.<!-- o ignored --></p>
