Solar does have it’s uses and I am all for it where it makes sense. I had a choice to make to get electricity to my well, run Power over 1000’ up my mountain or an alternative.
It cost me a little over $5000 to Completely Solar Power/Battery Power and run my well with no generator or backup power under normal circumstances. It is only a 450 AMP Hr system. This will also run the lights, TV and a full size fridge forever!!!
8 6 volt 225 amp hr batteries at Costco $100 each
12 24 volt Solar Panels off craigslist $100 each
1 mppt charge controller off ebay $100
1 Magnum MS4024PAE 24 volt to 240 volt Grid Tie Inverter $2500
Misc wire,boxes,cable,...$500
“It cost me a little over $5000 to Completely Solar Power/Battery Power and run my well”
Interesting setup. Thanks for describing it. I imagine you figured that it’s cheaper in the long run than running a generator.
Why did you choose that particular inverter?
