Hello All,
First post from a real noob--
here goes-we are on the grid, and want to retrofit our existing water well over to solar.
Would like to pump from water well, to storage tank, (about 60' static) (storage, and pressure tank will be at top of well head) In a pump house, Then pump to pressure tank, then to home a 1000' away--doing it right now on AC. (Just no storage tank right now)-just to pressure tank then home about 40' rise to home. ( pressure tank set up 50# to 70#). Pipe to home is 1 1/2”. (It all works great)
At pump house, I would like to use 2-255w panels, powering only the solar pump (Grundfos 11)
Then to keep all my panels the same, another 255 watt panel run through a solar charger to a 12 volt battery-to a (12v transfer pump) to move the water from the (storage tank-1000 gal) to pressure tank. Pressure tank, and storage tank are at same elevation.
We want the ability to have pressurized water day and night.
**All that said, I NEED a good transfer pump, that can pump into the pressure tank at that pressure/head-(50-70#)--do not mind spending the money,-but it just seems that the 12v transfer pumps are terribly expensive, and very intolerable to dirt. (would like not to have a filter to worry about) have 10 mic. filter up at house.
Any input will be greatly appreciated,
Rocky in NM
