just remind me, Watts = volts x amps yes?
So a 12v bilge pump, with a 1.5 amp draw, could be run off a PV panel with, say a Wp of 30W?
Obviously linking it all up with a SLA would be a good idea, but if want a cheap system that just pumps water round a cooling circuit when the suns out, would this lot work?

How best to control charging/drawing with an SLA?
Im guessing that since the panel cant be counted on producing 1.5A except at peak sunlight, it would just sit there producing <1.5A and the bilge pump not pumping until the sun came out?
