First some backround info. One of the clubs I belong to acquired, in the last year, some property. We had to re-locate, lost our lease. This property has no readily available power source, our thinking is that solar is the only viable alternative. To run electric from the road to where it would be needed would be an easy 850', cost prohibitive. This year we'd like to have a water well drilled to supply strictly non-potable water so that we could at least wash our hands, and it would be nice to be able to hose down some of the equipment if needed, the mower(s) especially. I am a committee of 3, me/myself/and I, who's basically in charge of the range development. I do not have a backround in solar energy or well pumps. I've inquired of the membership if anyone has any experience in solar and gotten no response. So, I guess what I'm asking here is ... has anyone dealt with something like this? What size of a DC pump, what size of solar panels, deep cycle storage batteries and everything else that goes along with it. And no, I have not yet contacted any local drilling outfits. I don't want to be sold a bill of goods which doesn't suit our needs.
