Re: Solar panel power consumption
Power consumption will depend on the size of the pump that you fit and the number of hours that it runs.

Re: Solar panel power consumption
What type of system is it? Is it an AC pump or a DC pump. Typical AC pumps for the average package solar hot water system would be a Grundfos or Wilo with 6-8m head and flow rates of 0.5 to 1L/m/m2 of panel area.
Typical pump power for an average system (tank size is irrelevant) is 40-80w depending on tubing size and length.
Hope that helps.
