Default Solar sprinkler system

I don't know what he wants, but a solar power system to power a house is
getting within range of many home owners. One to power a well and
sprinkler system would be much smaller, and thus relatively cheap.


You make a lot of good points. I guess that I don't see how you could save
much money running an irrigation system on solar power. Maybe there is some
demanding installation where the system is used for hours on end. My lawn
system is on for an hour a week, if that, and only for about three or four
months a year. The time to recover my investment in solar power generation
for that system would be measured in centuries.
