Q: How many solar panels do you need to run a solar well pump?

• <div><p>Solar well pumps range from needing 200 watts of power to as much as 12,000 watts for heavy-duty pumps. Since the most common and cost-friendly solar panels are 100-watt panels, you&rsquo;ll need between two and 12 panels. The average is between two and eight panels for standard pumps. Based on the average cost of solar panels (<b>$1 to $1.50 per watt</b>), you&rsquo;d pay between <b>$200 and $1,800</b> for your well pump solar panels&mdash;not including installation.</p></div>

Q: Can you run a well pump just on solar power?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to make sure you have a big enough solar panel to meet your well pump&rsquo;s power demands, but you can use solar power to fully operate your well pump. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to have battery storage to hold the solar power so you can still use your well pump after dark.</p></div>

Q: How do you mount solar panels for a well pump?

• <div><p>The best solar-panel mounting system will depend on your property layout, but you&rsquo;ll typically want to try for south-facing panels to get the most sun. Roof mounting and wall mounting are both popular, but if your well setup is far away from buildings and other structures you can also set up a freestanding aluminum frame to mount your panels.</p></div>

Q: Should I install solar batteries along with my panels?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-battery-cost.htm">Solar batteries</a> can be a great investment to help maximize your solar savings and make your system and home more valuable, but they&rsquo;re most beneficial to customers who don&rsquo;t have access to net metering. If your state or energy provider doesn&rsquo;t provide net metering, batteries can be a great way to offset consumption even when your panels aren&rsquo;t producing power. They also come with the added benefit of providing electricity through blackouts, so they&rsquo;re valuable in areas prone to severe weather that could cause frequent blackouts. Your installer can help you decide if batteries are worthwhile.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to install solar panels?

• <div><p>Depending on the climate in your area, the best time to install solar panels is either winter or early spring. Summer is a fine time to install panels, too, but it tends to be the busy season, so prices may be higher and companies may have packed schedules. The installation process can take more time than expected between getting permits and finalizing a design, so start as soon as you can.</p></div>
