I have a submersible pump 7.5 kw AC, and the well is about 100 feet deep. I need to run this pump on solar without batteries for irrigation by flooding. How can I design this system?
let say i have 20 solar panels, 16 is facing south and 4 facing west, should i have 2 equal strings 8 facing south plus 2 facing west or 10 facing west and another string 6 facing south plus 4 facing west? Why
Stupid question, but when taking my well seal cap off the bottom threaded piece fell down into my well. : / can I get it out assuming I can reach it with a roped magnet?
I want to know if there is a solar sumergible pomp for a 148 meters deep and what is going to be the price for the whole kit. I am here in California. Waiting for your answer thanks
I have a question - the fence post bases that are "weldless" will not sit flat/flush in the middle of a shipping container due to the raised edges of the roof. On the ends there are flat surfaces (sort of) that could probably work without welding but I don't see how you can say this system is weldless when there is no way for the bases to sit flush in certain areas. This requires a weld, right? One more follow-up question - why didn't you weld a full piece of metal across both raised areas and then attach the ground/base mount? You can see that the container is already collapsing due to the weight on the beveled edges which over time/wind will eventually fail. Lastly, it looks like you're using the Tamarack system which is great. But, you're not supposed to have a span of 7' or 84" between the rows of ground mounts/pipes. I think Tamarack states there should be no more than 5' to 6' of space between rows. You really need a row of ground mounts in the middle. If the system fails due to wind/snow, there will be no warranty. Also, the first row of ground mounts looks like you're using maybe 1' of fence post in height - this doesn't allow you to add cross-bracing as you need 6" above and below the cross-brace to attach. Cross-bracing is HUGE in areas of high wind. We get 90 mph gusts and that cross brace will take the load and distribute it from the row of higher fence posts. Anyway, it just seems a little simplistic to say this is a weldless system - there's no way to get it to work without welding skills.
Are there any responses to these people's questions? Also I made a long comment, with questions that is not showing. A lot of thought and work just vanished, and I would like to copy it.
For two days I've begun to look for a company that may assist me in determining if there is a reasonable remedy for my family related to water. Right now there are 8 people living in two homes serviced by one well. Besides just our normal needs, we both irrigate roughly an acre of yard between the two of us. I just received a 1K PG&E bill and we didn't use a minute of time using the air conditioner. My son received a $600 bill for the same month, July. But my issue is primarily with my well. I am contemplating installing a 5K gallon tank for water storage and a windmill(?) or the solar pump,, to fill the tank continuously from our well (?) or should we drill a new, smaller well for the tank and use a solar pump? The issue with the well is that I stand near it and hear in cycle on and off constantly. I know that is going to kill my pump sooner than I hope. I've lived here 40ish years and we have replaced the pump 3 times. With the tank, I would hope to stop the continuous cycling of the well. Does a 5K gallon tank sound like it is large enough? I live in the Central Valley of California, and we have had a good year for water last year, but I am beginning to fear our water may be in jeopardy. There are families near us who have lost their wells and we have very large housing developments moving in around us. My well is a hundred feet and my water is at 60 ft, the last time we checked. If you have any ideas or thoughts I would really appreciate your response. Thank you.
Lets not forget either if that panel says its a 100 watts no matter what if theres an obstruction or not its still gonna lose 20 percent after install .. this a common mistake. That everyone needs to Practice. Because home owners be like i thought i was getting 7500 kw and in actuality it’s like 5500 to 6k and then explaining in detail that production values are created in a climate controlled environment.
Never ever use poly pipe for such an installation unless you have the equipment to pull that pipe up from a great depth full of water. I made the mistake of using 1.25" poly pipe to a depth of 200 ft and it weighs 500 lbs, I don't have the tools to pull it up and what is worse is none of the half-dozen well service companies in this county will deal with poly pipe. They complain that the pipe will kink and be damaged during the pulling and their insurance company will not cover them if they reinstall it. They insist on replacing the poly with PVC and special couplings. The material cost to me to replace the pump now includes $800 extra just for a new pipe string. Putting the poly in is easy as the pipe is empty of water.
@@pauljohnson2372 That would have worked if I had prepared a year before the event. Instead, the company replaced everything, the pump, motor, pipe string, check valve, pressure tank, relays, and control box for a cost of $6800.
I bought this house and dont know how to find the info i need to setup a solar pump for emergencies. Can you help me? The well is a deep well. Anything will help.
Hello , I live on a lake in a mountainous area and was concerned about the amount of charging time with the solar. I may need a battery bank. Also would like a pump on this system that I could do some watering with when we are away.
4 inch 100' well in Florida with submersible pump. 3/4 hp 240v. Water table is at about 20 feet. I am looking for a 12v battery /solar pump that can be dropped down the casing after the removal of the existing pump and hardware. Ideas?
I am planning to run new homestead off solar. Would I be able to use the backup batteries for the pump as a power source for my house also? Would obviously need more panels and batteries. Just looking to kill two birds with one stone.
Greeting I hope you can be the one to make me understand something.....it's like this I got 400w, 3m³/hr, 48v solar pump that connects direct. I have connected 1 400w solar panel (37v) and it pump for about 40m with 40mm pipe. 2ndly I added another 400w on parallel and it go for about 55m, next i connected in series then it shoots to about 90m. My question is it possible to use one high voltage panel that an output of 72volts, 400w, 5amp?
HEY RPS, DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN THE CHANNEL, GHOST TOWN LIVING WITH BRENT. BUT HE OWNS A GHOST TOWN CALLED CERRAGORDO, HE HAS 1.7 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. HE'S HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING WATER FROM 700 FEET DOWN IN HIS MINE TO THE SURFACE, HE NEEDS SOMEONE LIKE YOU GUYS TO HELP HIM OUT, PLAN A SYSTEM. YOU GET FREE ADVERTISING TO 1.7 MILLION POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS, AND HE GETS WATER. I'M JUST A VIEWER OF HIS, SO I CAN'T SPEAK ON HIS BEHALF, BUT THIS COULD BE A WIN FOR BOTH YA ALL.REACH OUT TO HIM.
I have a large garden/small orchard and live in a high desert area. Our irrigation well static level is less than 10’ from surface so we have little lift required. We bought a RPS 400+system this year when they were on sale. We trenched over 500’ and installed 1.25” main pipe with 1” feeder coming from it in 6 sections. We installed the RPS system using our own solar panels. I added a 20 gallon pressure tank set at 35psi. I set the tank full controler to kick off when the pump gets to 60 psi. It comes back on at 30 psi. We use drip tape to deliver water to our plants with time controllers allowing us to water every day for individual requirements. The system works great and we use the excess water to water our lawn. So far our regular power bill has gone down over $100 per month since we no longer use our AC pump to irrigate everything. RPS was great for information even using our own solar panels. I highly recommend using their system.
Hi William. I live in Canada. We have cattle. We just got a 5" well dug. It is 18ft deep with 60gal/min recovery. I am curious how many gallon per minute you would estimate your RPS 400 will pump at that depth. Our static water level 5.5 feet down. Thanks in advance. I am new to solar water.
@@whiteface5055 I’ve never checked the gpm but it will keep a 5/8” garden hose running full. So probably 10-20 gallons per minute. This company has quite a few pumps in our Midwest for watering cattle on the prairie.
Thanks for video love it l have submersible pump AC 220V hp lwas using this pump with generator now l want to use solar panel direct without battery what needed for this pump to work thank you
So I have a pond that I want to pull from. I also have a storage tank. Can I pump directly from the pond or better to pull from pond into storage tank then drip line trees and run sprinklers for pasture?
