OFF GRID SOLAR WELL.....Learn from what I didn't know about FREE ENERGY!

What happens here

The system features four 200-watt solar panels (with plans to add four more) that operate on direct current (DC) voltage, eliminating the need for an AC inverter. This pure DC operation contributes to energy efficiency. A small solar sensor, similar to a photocell, is mounted below the main panels. This sensor measures incoming sunlight and communicates with the control system to ensure the pump receives optimal voltage, preventing both under-voltage (which can damage the pump) and over-voltage. For large garden irrigation, understanding solar input and voltage regulation is key to ensuring consistent water flow for plants.

Goal: This step details the solar panel configuration, their DC voltage operation, and the inclusion of a specialized sensor to optimize performance and protect the pump.

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 again are the four 200 watt solar panels and we'll be adding four more so subscribe to the channel jump in pound the like button i'd love to have you back and we'll show you how all that stuff's installed there's a control box under here and we're going to go see that but before we see that we have a sensor right here and this sensor senses how much sunlight is coming to these solar panels so that we don't overload or under load our pump in other words we don't want to send low voltage to the pump because that can wear the pump out just as fast as high voltage sent to the pump so that little i guess it's almost like a photocell or photo eye will sense how much sunlight there is on the solar panels themselves and send that voltage to the pump as needed so we had to do a few upgrades to our pump but we're going to go around we'll show you the control panel real quick and all this can be controlled via an app on your android device and you just scroll right through and it works on the android operating system i'm not sure if they've got ios yet for apple operating system but it's very very simple to operate you can change the motor speed you can change the voltage that you need the motor to run at you can change all sorts of settings the pump speed how many gallons per minute gosh just all sorts of stuff sensitivity pressure sensitivity so there are a couple different sensors we're going to talk about in the well too…
