Ok, since it has been raining rather than snowing I have had too much time to think! It hit me all of the sudden, I burn wood in an outdoor boiler (from fence rows we clean and tops of logged trees, not cutting down good trees) to save money and dependence on Natural Gas. So why not use solar energy to run the pump rather than 115V? Thought I could stick a 12V battery in the back where there is room (I have a Heatmor) just below the pump and hook one of those solar chargers to keep the battery full. Than use an inverter to go from 12V to 115V. Now the serious questions are; 1st- Will a single charged battery run one pump?
2nd- If so for how long when the sun goes away?
3rd- How could I rig it so that if the battery couldn't run the pump it would automatically switch to the 115V line?
4th- Am I crazy or what?
