A direct PV driven DC well pump is way better than the current AC one.

I am pretty sure Mike has lots of solar experience.
Mike what is a ballpark price for someone using 1900 kwh to go off grid?
Keep in mind I have very limited solar experience. You may not have the same requirements as I did. I was doing a self-install that needed to have a fast payback time. Also since I was doing a DYI I needed to be able to maintain the system myself. I required module level visibility I knew no other way to hold them to the new module warranty without that data. I also did not want one or two components to take down my whole array while I waited a month or two for the warranty work to be done. When I compared string inverters I added extra warranty so it was a better comparison.
I read lots and lots but that is not a substitute for real world experience with lots of solar installs.
