I first came across RPS Solar's Water Secure system a few years ago (2018?). I loved the concept of having solar back up for my well, but it wasn't in our budget and we didn't have an enclosure over our well.

Fast forward a few years and we now have a well house with a 6K Water Secure system and their 8-panel PV mount. The system showed up on a pallet, as stated. It came on a big truck, so make sure a tractor trailer can navigate your property. The truck had a lift gate and lowered the pallet into my pick up truck. It is heavy as a pallet, but the individual components are not too bad. Only the inverter/charge controller required to people to comfortably and safely move.

Speaking of the inverter/charge controller, it will come in it's own well-built crate. It's very well packaged and protected. Everything else is in cardboard boxes. You should inspect everything as soon as possible, even if there is no outward appearance of damage.

Installation of the system was pretty straight forward and not too difficult. If you're not comfortable doing electrical work, hire a professional to avoid damage and/or injury. Also, when running the PV cables from the panels to the switch block in conduit, ensure you have one male and one female end before you run those cables; they are shipped m/m f/f.

The only 'issues' I had were: 1) They don't sell the 4.5" steel post needed for the PV mounts. However, I sourced it from an online retailer. 2) You need a ground rod, which isn't mentioned online. Not a big deal, but you will need one. 3) 1 PV panel was damaged in shipment. 4) There were some wording conflicts within the manual.

Customer service is amazing! Before I received the shipment, they informed me of a potential error with my PV mount and the solution if I encountered said error. Also, I emailed photos of the damaged PV panel to customer service and they immediately shipped a replacement panel. I also spoke to them about the wording of the manual and they were both profession and receptive. They cleared up my confusion and stated they planned to fix the error in the upcoming updated manual.

After my experience, I would absolutely do it again. I don't know if there is another company doing this sort of work out there, but they would be extremely hard pressed to out perform RPS.

My deep well power backup system is up and running. Currently, the panels are not at optimum sun angle but are actually providing adequate power to the system. I want to thank everyone at RPS for their assistance and friendly customer service. This has been a most pleasurable DIY experience, and I will be sure to highly recommend RPS for anyone's power backup requirements.

Really fun setup, and we got water!

The Water Secure System worked out great! It was a fun project. Thank you for all your help in selecting a system that meets our needs.

My son blew up my first 6k unit and they fixed me up with another 6K at an unbeatable price. My water secure unit now is doing an amazing job and all the products I have bought from them is top grade. I sincerely advise anyone looking for solar products to buy, to give them a call. The price in comparison to the quality is unbeatable.
Thank you RPS
