Anyone Using Solar?

   Anyone here using solar power for their AP systems? I was wondering how many panels and batteries it would take for a small family sized operation.

I am not a solar expert but it all depends on your power needs. are your pumps always on or timed. how much sunlight you get. here is a link to help you figure your needs out they helped when I was working up a system for my lights in my shed.

The video will give you some things to consider.  See the OFF GRID group too. 12V VS 110.  

How's your budget?  It's not cheap.
