Last fall I constructed a metal storage building to store tractor, supplies and some hunting gear. It is in a rural area of South Carolina and I am replanting pines for harvesting. The power company estimated that it would cost over $2500 to establish power at my building. Also, the county had extensive requirements on what was needed to establish power at that location. I started investigating solar and wind power as an option because I eventually want to build a cabin on the land, too. I've spent numerous hours investigating some of the power stations. I have a Honda 7500w generator that has helped me through a couple of hurricanes and fluids over the last 4 years, but fueling and maintaining a generator can be a cumbersome (and potential dangerous) task. The recent pandemic has increased my sense of urgency to develop an alternative power supply so I just ordered and received a Ecoflow Delta 1800. Hopefully, the Delta will serve my needs until I receive my Titan Solar Generator (sometime in June). I am hopeful that this forum (and Will's book and videos) will prove useful in providing ideas and guidance. Also, I have found that Minute Man Prep has great information on "living off the grid". Now for my question.
Does anyone have experience with solar pumps? One of minute man prep's videos mentioned RPS solar pumps. Does anyone have other sources or ideas on setting up an "off grid" water pump to supply a residential home?
