These are both 12 volt panels, but unless your pump operates at less than 5 watts (or 1.8 watts for the small version), these will not work. These panels, and almost all portable solar panels, are designed to recharge the various batteries found in electronics and trickle-charge larger batteries, like automotive or laptop. So, if you were to operate the pump from a battery, these panels would recharge that battery, assuming the battery could be recharged and sufficient time was allowed to charge between uses (obviously, the larger the battery, the longer the charge time).
