Even at my home, being at the bottom of a 1 mile+ hill we need a sump pump, in fact 2, being a duplex we have one on each side and both run off our off grid solar bank. The rest of the house is on grid power but we have those pumps and our entertainment center on solar. Depending on the reading for the battery bank we switch back and forth for the washing machine. Our home solar system is just 1720 watts and the battery bank is 4 x 6V 683AH rolls batteries in the 5000 series. That reminds me, today is battery maintenance day. We do well just servicing them every 3 months and today is the day. It only takes about 30 minutes.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
