William Here is the deal it will be simplest to go AC for the pump because of the requirement of high voltage DC yes there are small er output DC pumps but that is not what you need, first find a AC pump that can do the required 10 GPM at 300 feet of head then design a inverter to fit that bill PV to recharge that usage and then some. look at the first and last day of the desired water demand and go the shorted day as a production base line. When looking at pumps grundfus is very efficient in DC and wild AC but at a cost so look at options output vs input. I have done this with Grundus and DC direct to a 50K storage tank at the very top of the property so it can be done with DC so AC just requires additional nighttime. Here might be an option large enough storage tank to fill every night and a pump big enough to drain it every day, this can be done DC direct, cheaper and less moving parts and the pump can run on a genny if you have bad weather for days, This is how the ones I have done work.
