Replacing a wind powered device with solar device can be tricky. In this video, Tom explains to Dave Dugdale (www.solardave.com) how he put solar panels on an old windmill. The device powers a pump for water.
The solar panels can be unplugged to allow for a generator to take over on cloudy days. Tom explains why the windmill is replaced by three solar panels. The pasture holds 1000 cows and the pump and solar panels help in keeping up with the thirsty bovines.
The video was shot on a ranch just outside of Laramie, Wyoming where there is plenty of sun and wind!
