Introduction to the Solar-Powered Well System

together hey there folks this is josh stoney ridge farmer welcome back to another gorgeous day here on the stoney ridge farm we're up here by the solar well pump system and this is a lorentz solar well pump system we're going to walk through this system with you guys today and talk to you about how it works and some of the lessons that i've learned running a solar well pump system like this so come along today this is a completely passive all the way 100 solar well watering system for our cattle here on this side of the farm we've got about 60 acres around here and we'll be installing mirror fountain waters probably about five of them on this 60 acre track here on the farm so that we can intensively graze and mob graze our cattle so come along we're going to learn a little bit about the solar well setup all right guys get ready to be fed information with a fire hose because this is a lot of information on solar well pumps that you might not know already so these are 200 watt solar panels there's four 200 watt solar panels there'll be four more 200 watt solar panels going up here very shortly that allows us the capability of functioning on cloudy days so the way it's set up right now it does not function on cloudy days so there are a few different things that you need to know about here with the solar setup and all this comes as a package deal from laurent solar i'll post a link down the video description they're a company that's been around for a really long time and they make a very very efficient pump a very energy efficient pump because that's what it's all about is having an extremely energy efficient pump when you're running a solar system like this and it's all ran on dc voltage so there's no inverter that takes the dc voltage from the sun and turns it to ac and runs a standard well pump it's not like that it's all dc voltage so what we have here
