Optional: A solar tracker

Sometimes it makes sense to consider a solar tracker. The solar panels will track the sun, so always the optimal irradiation is caught by the solar panels during the day. In the early morning, the solar panels are faced to the rising sun, to build up sufficient power to bring the pump into motion. In this way, the effective operational pump hours will be increased. The daily harvest will increase substantially, up to 40%. This cost advantage (saved solar panels) of the solar tracker should be compared with the extra costs of the tracker. Also the introduction of a potential trouble factor should be considered.
