Have a pump, pool, well, pressure tank, water heater, or water-related electric load hiding inside the utility bill? ABC Solar can review the solar, battery, inverter, utility-rate, and backup-power side of the project.
Start with the load list
The best first conversation is practical. What equipment uses electricity? When does it run? Does it need backup? Is it a critical load or a convenience load? Is there water storage? Is there a pump nameplate, breaker label, equipment pad photo, utility bill, or outage concern?
ABC Solar can help review the solar and battery side of water-related electric loads. Plumbing, well work, pool equipment selection, water treatment, graywater, rainwater, gas appliances, and code-specific water-system design must be handled by the proper qualified professionals.
Useful details to send
Photos and simple facts can prevent guesswork. A pump nameplate, breaker label, equipment pad photo, battery expectation, and utility bill can quickly show whether the project is a solar-load issue, a water-system issue, a scheduling issue, or a backup-priority issue.
Send photos of pumps, tanks, pool equipment pads, water heaters, controllers, breaker panels, labels, and any existing solar or battery equipment.
Note when the equipment runs, how long it runs, whether it runs automatically, and whether the schedule can change.
Say what must work during an outage: well pump, pressure pump, livestock water, pool equipment, water heater, controls, or something else.
Project categories
A pump that will not start on backup is a different problem than a pool pump running during expensive hours. A well pump is different from graywater controls. A pressure tank problem can look like a battery problem. The category matters.

Before the call
| Item | Why It Helps | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Pump nameplate | Shows voltage, horsepower, amperage, manufacturer, and model. | Well pump, booster pump, pool pump, transfer pump |
| Breaker panel photo | Shows circuit layout and whether loads may share breakers. | Main panel, subpanel, pool equipment panel, backup panel |
| Runtime schedule | Shows whether loads can shift toward solar production. | Pool pump 9 a.m.–3 p.m., well pump intermittent, irrigation timer |
| Utility bill | Shows rate exposure, usage pattern, and possible timing issue. | High afternoon/evening use, seasonal pool load, water heater load |
| Battery expectation | Clarifies what the customer wants during an outage. | Run well pump, exclude pool pump, manual backup only |
| Water storage information | Shows whether tanks can reduce battery demand. | Pressure tank, cistern, ranch tank, rainwater tank, pool storage |
Scope clarity
Solar, batteries, inverters, backup load planning, utility-rate strategy, and electrical-load review for water-related equipment.
Plumbing, pressure tanks, wells, pool equipment, water treatment, graywater, rainwater, irrigation, and potable-water safety.
Pumps, controls, sensors, heaters, backup circuits, load schedules, labels, operating instructions, and customer expectations.
