I am in the process of building this in my system. I want to add a couple of extra features. such as minimum run time, the ability to run a few minutes each hour over night (for skimming) and some other bits an pieces.

i think i want to try and run between the sunny hours, only off of solar. but at some point it will be obvious i wont get my minimum run time in, so i will need to run it anyway.
Shouldn’t be too hard to track the sun in the sky, and start the solar-powered run when it is above an angle, and move to a maximum time limited schedule when it is not possible to actually generate enough power to run the pump.
