Ann Said:

what is the best source to buy solar panels?

We Answered:

In researching my answer for a similar question, I found four of the five, below. (I already knew about the first one.)

Note that my search was for residential (not business) applications, though I'm sure there's some cross-over.

Good luck.

How much would it cost to buy solar panels to run my pool filter/pump?

We Answered:

How much energy does your pump consume?

A 200W solar panel generates between 0.5kW to 1kW per day (depending on your location). That's 15-30kWh/month. So if your pump consumes twice that much, you would need two panels plus an inverter. That's a pretty poorly designed system where inverter and installation costs will be disproportionate to the return on investment. One can make the same argument for basically all systems below 1-2kW peak power output. At probably $6/W (including installation), that's at least $6000-$12000 for a minimal system.
