I have a deepwell on my place. The bottom reaches 500', the pump sets at 350' and the top water line is around 200'.
I need some good ideas for how to supply power to my well pump whould power go out temprarily, or if the grid crashes permenantly. I have a generator, but do not want to use anything that will require the use of fuel or running a motor that folks can hear from a mile away.
My area is not suitable for wind turbines. I REALLY don't want to depend on lifting a bucket up and down that far, since I have livestock and many other things that will require lots of water.
If you know of a GOOD solar system or other means that can be found, bought or made on th NOT to expensive side that is strictly for the deep well, PLEASE let me know. I need ideas, links, brands, etc.

Tim (TJ) started a thread about solar one time. You and I started talking offline about this before that. I'll be tied up with some family stuff for a little bit, but after that - let's start some specific threads. The first one for me will be exactly what you brought up: Solar powered well pumping That would be awesome!!! Thank you so much! Let me know when you start it, so I don't miss out!

We are incoroporating solar as well as battery backup for our freezers, fridge and well in our new system. That being said, it is not cheap to do this. But we are aiming for a 6KW with backup now and framing/ground mounts in to expand it to 10 KW next year if we can. Our well is also deep, over 200'
