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: Where is the best place to install solar panels on your roof?

• <div><p>Ideally, you want to place them facing true south. This is different from what a compass shows, which is called the magnetic south. You can find true south by using an online calculator as long as you know the longitude and latitude of your property. Solar panel placement is key to maximizing the energy you generate, so this is an important step.</p></div>

Q: Will solar panels void my roof warranty?

• <div><p>In most cases, installing solar panels will not void your roof warranty. To keep roof warranties intact, check your written warranty or call the manufacturer to ask about clauses regarding roof penetrations. You can also protect yourself by getting written approval or a modified warranty that specifically allows the solar installation type you&rsquo;re planning. Then, hire a professional solar installer that follows roofing manufacturer instructions and protects the roof during installation.</p></div>

Q: Should I buy a solar battery or a generator?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re deciding between a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solar-batteries-vs-generators.htm">solar battery versus a generator</a> for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don&rsquo;t have many ongoing costs. </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>
