I used a solar panel and a small volume pump to pump water out of a spring to a garden about 200 yards away. I faced the solar panel east so it would water only in the mornings. The pvc in pipe had a window screen filter and it was set in a 5 gallon bucket with small holes to keep the minnows out.
The solar panel was 120 watt and at the time was about $600. the pump was a DC pump and was about $100. The pump last for about 2 years of daily use.
