Solar Water Pumping: DIY Secrets & Savings from Shawn Mills
Shawn Mills is about to launch his first Kickstarter. If you have heard Shawn answer this audience’s questions or listened to any of his guest appearances on the show, you know he brings an excruciating level of detail, even in a 6 minute Expert Council answer. Now imagine he has no time restrictions, can really dive deep into a topic, and produce a full-on documentary on a subject!
The Kickstarter is for a Solar Water Pumping Documentary. Shawn is going to build multiple test stands and put 8 different dc water pumps through the wringer with two pump controllers and 6 different solar panel configurations. Thats 96 combinations. Each of those combinations will be tested at different heights (up to 500′) and different distances (up to 1000′) and Shawn will document the results for both flow and pressure, AND he will show you how to use a step by step process to design a system that will meet your exact needs and select components with confidence-with no batteries or inverters required!
Imagine replicating a system that retails for $6000 for under $1500 and some elbow grease! Thats a consulting business in itself, and you can do that and much more with the data Shawn will provide in this project. Add-ons include live Q&A sessions during testing and a white paper where he will publish all results and simulate production and other latitudes to account for differences in available solar generation.
The Kickstarter officially launched today and there are several launch week discounts -some of which have limited availability- so follow the link and sign up to get access to this project. Shawn has pledged to never sell the final video anywhere but through this kickstarter so if you want it, this is the only way to get it so don’t miss out.
