    I provide water on my homestead by using PV energy directly to a 24V deep well pump. There are no inverters or batteries used. I use a 3000 gallon tank on my highest grade to store energy from pumped water. The pump runs continuously in sunlight and uses a mere 4.5 amps which comes from less than 200 watts of panels. Excess water is released from a pressure relief valve and that passively waters a mixed poultry flock of approximately 100 birds.
