After hours of operation outside in the direct sun we felt the motor
for signs of heat. The motor was only slightly warm, as it has a
very good internal cooling fan.
System Cost
The cost of the SolarJack pump, complete with fiberglass rods, seals,
counterweights and all other pump parts necessary for this system,
was $6,451. This includes the concrete base and all shipping. Labor
and small parts to install the pump down the well cost $658. The
PV panels and their rack cost $3,088., installed and wired. The
total cost of the entire system was $10,197., installed and working.
Conclusion
The SolarJack pump, and the Kyocera PV panels that power it, offer
a real alternative for deep well pumping. The reliability of this
system is supreme and justifies its additional expense over other
options. Beyond the commercial power grid, all other alternatives
involve using generators or inverters. These reduce reliability
and efficiency. This water pumping system, using SolarJack and PVs,
is quiet, ultra reliable, and should last for many years. This system
provides dependable water anywhere the sun shines and the water lies
deep.
SolarJack makes all kinds of pumps for just about any application.
