Solar Power for Well Pumps: Everything You Need to Know
Did you know that California has more wells than any other state in the country? That’s great for us—wells often provide cleaner and fresher water than city systems. But there is one major downside to owning a private well. When the power goes out, your well pump does too.
The solution? Solar panels with battery backup. With a home solar panel and battery system, you can keep your well pump running at all times, even during a power outage.
In this guide, we break down everything you need to know about solar power backup for your well pump in California.
Why Use Solar for Your Well Pump?
Installing a solar system with battery backup for your well pump has two key benefits:
Power Security
We’re using more electricity than ever before and the California electric grid is struggling to keep up. As demand continues to increase, we’re likely to see more rolling blackouts, brownouts, and grid outages. Severe weather makes things worse and can lead to increased and longer-lasting power outages. If you want to make sure you can pump water no matter what happens, you need solar backup for your well pump.
Electric Bill Savings
Well pumps use a lot of electricity, which is only getting more expensive. If you’re worried about the rising cost of electricity, installing solar panels is the solution. Solar panels can run essentials like your well pump using free energy from the sun, saving you money on your electric bills. If you install a larger system to power not just your well pump but your whole house, you’ll see even greater savings. Plus, you’ll be protected from utility price hikes, which we all know are coming.
