Farmer digging....finds a buried house? What is this mess?
What happens here
The presenter details the off-grid solar well system. This system consists of four 190-watt solar panels that power the well pump. Water is pumped directly from the well to an elevated water tank. Once the water tank is full, the entire farm's water system fills up via gravity. The presenter highlights that the well only needs to pump water up to this tank, and then gravity does the rest, reducing strain on the pump. A one-way check valve is mentioned as a critical component to prevent water from flowing back into the well.
Goal: Establish an efficient, off-grid water supply and distribution system.
Tools and materials
- One-way Check Valve — Preventing water backflow into the well from the distribution system
- Solar Panels — Generating power for the well pump. The system uses four 190-watt panels
- Solar Well Head — Housing the well pump and connecting to the solar power system
- Water Tank ABI — Storing water from the well for gravity distribution
