I agree unless you get a sealed Outback inverter. From what I understand, they are used by our military over in the sand because they are sealed and deal well with harsh climates.


Good to see someone else who is taking advantage of solar. I was so overwhelmed when I first started but had some really cool people take the time to walk me thru it so I figure I should help some others if I can.


We sort of cheat with our off-grid system because we have a couple gas wells on our property which make our solar requirements minimal. A gravity spring rounds out our off grid system.

What I do not get is that while Air compressors have lots of issues because they are mainly diaphragm type pumps, water pump that are built on prop / vane technology have long service life, so why not create aspirated pumps? The introduction of air to a water pump is very easy and produces a hefty amount of aeration.

This way the pump could remain on shore with the suction line in the water, and the air mixed on the suction with the discharge located wherever you want to place it (provided you are not TOO deep and too long a run for proper discharge pressure).

Nice part about aspirating too is that you do NOT need a trouble prone diffuser in the pond.
