RE: borehole pump
Hi Jo and welcome

NR has some good logic with regards to the solar and wind pumps, But.... I would be cautious about using them and relying on them long term as these sorts of pumps tend to be very light duty, and even if they do manage to attain the specified pump rates etc, they very soon get clogged up/blocked and the tiny motors burn out. I doubt however from reading the comments if they would even be suitable for their described roles...??

I'd personally prefer something simple and mechanical (and tried and tested) as a back up, like this:
