Delivery Issues
How can I change my order after it’s been placed?
We recommend you contact us immediately upon realizing you need to make a change on your order. We will make sure you get what you need!
Some of my items have been damaged in transit- what do I do?
Shipping damage is frustrating! Sometimes, it’s luckily just box damage, so please make sure to unbox everything and email shipping@ruralpowersystems.com (or text us below) with any photos of damaged items. Pictures are helpful to us in assessing how we package our orders and helps prevent problems in the future. Replacements will be promptly arranged with our Customer Service team.
Are the solar panels ok?
The 100w solar panels are always boxed separately, 2 per box to protect the glass best we can. Just to save an extra trip, take a peek in those boxes before you head out to the install site. Solar Panels get dented aluminum frames sometimes on their voyage, but they are fully functional unless the glass on the front is shattered (it will be fully spider webbed if broken!) It's only a few a year but it's worth a peek in there to make sure the glass is fine!
My order hasn’t moved during transit for a while/packages are missing- what do I do?
Please reach out to our Customer Service team with one of the methods below. We will initiate a lost investigation. Please allow us 24hrs to look into the situation.
I did not receive the correct parts.
While we strive for perfection and satisfaction every day, sometimes, mistakes regrettably happen. Our greatness as a company is rooted in taking care of people in an extraordinary way, which means recognizing & admitting to our mistakes. We are so sorry you received the incorrect parts and we will make it right for you! Please contact our Customer Service team so we can get the correct parts shipped out to you ASAP!

The best equipment for the job after much research
I was quite surprised as to the quality and attention to detail when receiving the DIY total kit. The step-by-step directions provided were easy to understand and fool proof after utilizing the many YouTube videos RPS made available.
I went with eight 100 watt panels purchased ahead of time and added an extension due to the larger size. This worked out after making a call to the support line for assistance.
I highly recommend RPS to anyone looking to go with solar powered well water off grid. The quality and support are top notch!
Here are pictures of our installation we just completed. There was already a little over an inch of ice we we went to set the diffusers and that is why you can see tubing on top of the ice.
Installation was straightforward and simple, and it performs flawlessly as long as there is some sunlight.
We are very happy we purchased from you and will recommend.
The panels were installed near well location at base of windmill. In the background is a nine thousand gallon storage tank that is pumped into. Also, by changing a valve, the water is pumped over a ridge to another nine thousand gallon storage. Total head 140 feet; distance 3500 feet.
I had to take the damaged wheel off the old windmill so that pieces would not fall and damage solar panels. Have barricaded the panels to keep cows off but have not bear proofed panels yet......must happen before spring.
