The Well Has No Power. The RPS 400 Solar Pump Does Not Need It.

Wood County Electric builds overhead line at $6 a foot. Pioneer charges $6.50. A complete RPS 400 solar well pump — pump, controller, four panels, sensors — is $2,039.99.

That is 314 feet of new line, and the line arrives without a pump.
