Pump size

[BigSplash]

I am thinking about installing solar panels on my roof.
(2 panels 2' by 20')
The panels would be located about a 100' at a height of 10', could my 3/4 HP Hayward super pump handle this additional load?

I am not sure as to what panels they will be since I am having a problem finding a supplier here in Canada.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Max head for that pump is around 55' which is more than enough lift to prime the lines. After, the lines are primed, the lift is no longer an issue. However, because of the pipe runs being 100' you should expect a significant increase in head loss and filter PSI rise. This is OK, it just means your flow will reduce and turnover rate increase so when running the solar, you may have to increase run time a bit.
