pump output, Pnom is the nominal array power (here 780 W for the surface

on -
plane solar irradiance, Gref is the irradiance at standard test conditions, nA is the array efficiency (including temperature effects), nMP is the efficiency of the
pump, and HT is the total dynamic head (here we use specs from the surface
pump systems: 6 m static head, a maximum
pumping speed of 120 L / min, and 63 mm pipe, giving a maximum total dynamic head of 7.42 m).
