Sprinklers run on 24v DC. I don't see any advantage of using solar

Unless you're off the grid.

Where does the water come from if you are off the grid?


A well.


Don't you need electric to power the pump?


Um, this could be why the person asked for a solar sprinkler system.
Chances are, if off the grid, their energized using solar and or wind.
Just a bit of thinking out of the box'ull do ya.


The OP asked for " ... a small (4 station) solar powered automatic sprinkler
system that is reasonably priced.

To me that means a controller and maybe four valves. I guess you could
assume that it could be just about anything once you are outside the box.
