That little pump probably only makes 2 lpm at 200 feet so it would be good for a thirst quencher or light duty use. I think it runs on 80 watts.

This below pump has better performance and runs on more wattage

Kary 400 Feet Head 3.5 Inches 24v 36v DC Brushless Submersible Solar Powered Water Pump for Deep Well, Max Power 860w, Max Flow 9GPM

Dimension:
Total length: 25.6"
Max diameter: 90mm(almost 3.5")
Outlet port diameter: 32mm
Net weight: 5.8kg(12.8lb)
Gross weight: 6.4kg(14.1lb)

Installation
1. This pump is a solar powered water pump, 36v is ideal input voltage. The solar panels' power should be 1.5~2 times bigger than the pump. 2 or 3 pcs 12 volts batteries connected in series also can be power source.
2. Connect the pump to solar panels directly, if the total length of the cable between pump and solar panel is longer than 100ft, we strongly recommend 9 or 8AWG wire.
3. Safety rope or wire is very important for deep well pumps, because the safety rope or cable will be the only way to retrieve the pump from the bottom of the well, we recommend a good stainless steel cable rather than rope.
4. If your solar panel kit is not powerful enough and you don't want to add more, a couple of 12v batteries is a good option, they can help to hold the input voltage above the "low voltage cut off point", however, sufficient solar panels is still the best power source.
