    Welcome. Well, the most likely thing you will be comfortable with, is how to build a collection tank for solar hot water. Whats best, a used electric water tank, or a purpose built tank?

      I was thinking more on the lines of pumping my water to the house with solar energy as that is the most likely in sertain parts of the year close to the costly items I need off the grid for my pool also I was thinking of a 165 cell pannel as a cover for my well it is positioned perfectly for the tracking of the suns path. Just for starters I was thinking of just making it a fixed possition but plan to make it adjustable for sun tracking on other parts of the year for other use to tap into it like shed power tools nothing major though would like to eventualy get a tig machine to run off of it some day
