Some serious kit there, good job. We have a more simple submersible pump, hooked up to two panels, plenty enough for the size of the well but may be going bigger like that too soon. Can never have too much water capabilities
I wish I could like this video more than once! Having water on site is HUGE! Happy for yall. Our well has a older 220v pump motor system, and a pressure tank. I installed a transfer switch on my main breaker panel in the shop. From there i can decide if i want to power the well only, house or guest house(smaller, more efficient AC). Since you'll be solar for a while and not on the grid, you can find a more cost effective solution. My only suggestion would be to make the transfer terminals/switch outside the well house. It is convenient to not have to crawl into the well house to switch power from solar to the generator. I can't stand yellow jackets! Before my current solution I was fighting them to connect my generator power lead.
Thanks for the tip! Yeah, I will most likely want to use the generator sometimes so having the transfer switch on the outside of the well house makes sense.
That’s a major step in the direction your heading ! I’d run that gen on propane if you can and a remote starting switch for those he’ll like days ! Lol
Nice. A pressure tank is definitely needed for the fifth wheel to have consistent pressure. You should take your show on the road. Come check out our 100 acre peninsula homestead on the lake near Swinney Switch. It's an hour and 15 minutes from downtown SA.
That is awesome!!! A game changer and professional job!! Very happy for y’all!!

Regarding a smaller more efficient A/C, go with a mini-split system.

Hi
I use Victron system to supply the whole house with electricity. Maybe it wouldn't be bad for you.
Good job, you're a hard worker.
Thanks Martin!

Thanks! Yeah, it's nice to have a backup generator for the pump.

Nice! You have a good location. Must be an easy drive to the coast.
