It’s springtime in the northern hemisphere! |  And for us, it’s the beginning of water pumping season. One can live without many things, but water isn’t one of them, and sadly, it appears to be a vanishing resource. We offer a variety of solar water pumping systems, for off-grid homes, irrigation, pond management, stock watering, wildlife support… And some folks who are on the utility grid are getting enough back-up power to be able to run their well or pump water in the event of a power outage. If you have a need for any of these, give us a call at 406-777-4321; get us the answers to the questionnaire at www.PVsolarpumps.com. And we’ll tell you what it will take! | Disclaimer:
