Water for irrigation, livestock and domestic use is heavy and difficult to move, but renewable energy can be an excellent way to do it.

In this one-day course, participants will learn the various types of solar and wind powered water-pumping systems. Participants will learn to determine the preferred application for each type of system. This course will also cover the technical side including: pump types, solar and wind electrical inputs, and energy storage. The course will describe how the variables of water volume and pumping height determine the capacity and energy demands for moving water.

• This 8-hour "classroom" course is designed for anyone interested in installing a water pumping system powered by renewable energy: Farmers, ranchers, homesteaders, and anyone who wants to move off the grid (or already has).
• This is a new class, and is not yet eligible for IREC/ISPQ/NABCEP credits.
