    Regarding running two motors from one controller... I think the answer is no.

    The VFD controller controls the speed of the pump based on available solar power and other inputs (on/off from tanks, back EMF from motor, run dry, etc.). Powering two separate motors would probably (at least) confuse the controller, and at worst run a pump dry or other issues.

    If the other system works--I probably would just leave it alone.
