I do not mean to butt in on this but you all got my attention once I figured out you were talking about running home appliances from off main grid supplies.
Just curious as to what your main source of power is (solar, ect) and how you store it, (battery types,ect). Also, does any of you run a well pump.
What I am looking to do is convert a small bore windmill well (2 inch) to a Solar electric setup. The well is remote from main power lines, so cost of getting mains to the site is prohibitive. Replacing the windmill is not an option as tower iwould have to be rebuilt from scratch and AeroMotor windmill gear heads are getting almost impossible to find anymore.
If you have any links to sites for small bore submersible pump systems (+- 100 ft pump depth) or your Solar/inverters, please post them so I can look them over.
Thanks
