I am trying to put together a sprinkler system that uses a solar powered pump and collected rainwater and grey water. I'm not having much luck finding out whether this is even possible. Is there anyone out there who has done this or could provide assistance? My yard is about 4/10ths of an acre and is mostly flat.
Thanks!

one thing I can tell you - it is possible. a lot of the rainwater harvesting systems offer options for installing irrigation systems.
is it worth it to try to make it solar powered? I don't know but is prety simple to figure it out after you decide what kind of pump you'll need and how many hours per year you think you'll use the system.
I think there are more cons than pros in trying to make such a small system solar powered but sure sound like a fun project.
good luck
