NO! I don't want the Government on My Farm! Here's how I messed up!
What happens here
The core of the farm's water supply is a solar-powered well system. This system involves a deep well, a DC well pump, solar panels, and a pump control box (Lorentz solar system). For this step, professional services are typically required to drill the well to an adequate depth (e.g., 460 feet as seen in the video) and install the submersible pump. The solar panels are then mounted and connected to power the pump, and a pressure tank (also professionally installed) is integrated for water storage and pressure regulation.
Goal: Establish the primary water source using solar power.
Tools and materials
- DC Well Pump — Pumping water from the deep well
- Lorentz Solar Well System Lorentz — Powering the deep well pump using solar energy
- Pressure Tank — Storing water and maintaining system pressure
- Pump Control Box Lorentz — Managing the operation of the solar well pump
- Solar Panels — Generating electricity to power the well pump
- Well Drilling Rig — Drilling the deep well
