-Buy a step up step down transformer. It
will convert 110 into 220.
Buy 2000 watt dc to ac converter.
Buy 8 12V deep cycle marine/rv batteries. Wire them into a battery bank.
Buy 4 20 amp charge controllers
Buy 4 225 w solar panels
Buy 250 feet of 12 gauge agw wire
This will set you free
Complete off grid power that has enough juice to comfortable power a small house or cabin and also spew enough juice to run your well pump.
The step up transformer will convert your 12 v battery bank/110 v system..... into a 220 charge
220 drains bank fast though. Better run pump in sunny day if you need it for more than 50 gallons
You forgot to tell him to get a current inverter, transformers can't step up or step down DC current, the physics of Transformers requires an alternating magnetic field from the primary coils in other to induce current flow in the secondary coils
Are your 4 225w solar panels for the pump alone? I'm off grid as well and have a generator to run the pump. I plan on getting a 100+ gallon pressure tank so all I do is run the generator in the morning to fill it and coast on that for the day.
But inn the scenario where there is no more gasoline, propane or there was an emp or something, I was planning on putting in a deep well hand pump. It's quite expensive but worth it imo.
Check the surge current on your down-well pump. It can be surprisingly high, sometimes 3x or more than the steady state current. You can check this with a current clamp meter. Then, when selecting the inverter (DC to AC) make sure that it can handle that peak current.

I believe the 2000 watt dc to ac converter is what you're referring to as an inverter.
Inverter is the more common name.
You are correct, I missed it in the post, my bad
