Has anyone setup a solar system to run a 230 volt well pump?
Can you describe the system?

You might be better off to install a complete system that is designed to work around components that are designed to work off of solar. Takes a lot of watts to start pump and get it going.

This pump was the best I could find when we put in my solar well .

My setup is simple , I have 2 panels, pump ,underground storage tank to keep it from freezing. Water is gravity feed to 2 troughs set up on fence lines ,each watering 2 pastures .
Not all panels produce the same wattage ,when I first started looking for them I was going to need 4 to run the pump, If I remember right 40 or 45 watts was what most of them were . It took awhile to find the better panels but it was worth it.
I had this well drilled 6 years ago its 510 ' deep pump sets at 220 ' , but it only has a 40' lift, the well recovers at 20 gpm
