What is a good pressure/GPM for my solar.

My Pentair VSF pump is currently pushing solar at 49GPM@18PSI (pump readings) with 15PSI at the filter. The panels above the electric solar are 6’ (I think) x14’.

Should I go up or down with pressure?

I didn’t see a way to add my text in the opening post...hmmm...

Nice solar arrays! 1.0 to 1.2 gpm per 10sf of panels area is a pretty good guideline.

I usually write the text and then add the pics.
