“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?
The well pump is 240 volt and 385 deep so I needed one that put out 240 volts and could easily handle it. The Grid Tie is setup to run on my Generator if and when needed. It was the best Inverter I could find for my application, and it absolutely works great. It will run my well for 2 hours straight without a problem, and my float switch setup on my 10,000 tank is set at about 300 gallons and takes about 40 minutes to fill when it activates. More than enough water for 2 people a day.
The first set of batteries only lasted 6 years, but I had a xantrex charge controller that cooked the batteries due to their design and I went through a ton of water. Since I got the new NoName MPPT controller and new batteries, I hardly go through any water at all now. Should go over 10 years
