[RE-wrenches] Big Ag water

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

Just did one.

You have to do the math for costing the grid, a genset, and solar 
direct.
The genset usually wins if the grid is not an option. You can easily 
find/replace pumps that are not solar direct.

If you do the solar, you still need a genset and the electronics to 
support it.

It is not an easy thing to do if someone is not living there. Most Ag 
run big gensets if no grid is available.

If you can add the grid, it will improve the property for the owner. Not 
sure about that in California anymore.

Happy Hour !  Good luck !
