Request for Solar Water Pump

Question:

I need some help on the solar panels and making 50 horsepower engines run with a irrigation pump attached.

Response:

I am being told that this may not be so practical due to the size of the solar surface you would need.  That said I did some searching on the internet and found a company out of California that seems to have just the set up you are looking for.

Here is a PDF with some contact info for another company. 

By the way, from what I am being told (and I am sure that you see after looking at those links) is that to run that 50 hp pump would be hard to do (or at least very costly) via solar power.  

This is what I got back from my solar guy:

"Here is a link to the leading solar powered water pump supplier in the US.

I have done business with them and they know what they are doing.  I suggest

you have the person inquiring contact them directly.  http://www.conergy.us "

BTW, we have pioneered a solar water pasteurizer for fairly large scale volumes if you would like to hear about it we can send a fact sheet.
