Abstract
The present invention is a solar powered emergency water pump system designed to be used in combination with a private water well system to provide water when a power outage or other failure disables the primary pump system. The invention is comprised of the following major components: a solar panel for gathering energy, a battery for storing energy for energy supply at night, a controller for converting and directing energy flow, a microprocessor for system control and diagnostics, a hydraulic pump, a submersible hydraulic motor and lifting pump, tubing or piping for water transfer and a container for storing the emergency water. The system is designed for the pump to run 24 hours a day supplying water at a low rate.
