Built a Solar Panel Frame from Old Lumber for my Solar Water Pump

#solar, #solarwaterpump, #solarpanels, #offgridsolar, #offgridpower
This is just an update to the solar water pump system I have setup offgrid near the lake on our land. This frame allows me to keep the panels high above the ground and tilt them when needed.

I used leftover wood I had in the barn, so it was just my time invested. I now have space for 3 100 watt solar panels if I want.

Its been a great off-grid solution to move water to my pecan trees and other plants that are over 1500′ away and 30+ feet uphill.

I added a pressure switch to our solar water pump in the lake to manage the pump.
We don’t always need it running and this switch has worked great.
