Jay, had to smile, as 7-8 years ago we read a book on solar (forgot the name, but could probably dig that up if someone HAS to have it!), and the starting point was to run a pump for water.... from what I can remember, the rest of the book was about how you start with that simple premise & the learning curve escalates.... most of the problems early on for the author were that solar water pump idea has a lot of hitches, something to the effect that the pump is an energy hog that really doesn't last long if not on a nice conditioned source & of course (from the authors POV) everyone seems to go through their first battery bank as a learning curve...and... well, the book was very instructional, & we decided not to start a solar project with the idea of pumping water ;~)
Oh, and the State has axed the regulation requiring architect/engineer approval, so at least that is one less worry! - Bill 305 was adopted in a 7-0 vote to remove this requirement....
