in Solar Water Pumping #1
Hello - 
We have a solar well that was drilled about 6 years ago, it's been great..........until recently.  It pumps until it hits about 1.6kwatt then drops and won't do anything unless it is power cycled and then repeats the same thing.  Any thoughts on what is causing it?  I have attached a picture of the control boxes.  Thanks!

    I am no expert here... Any chance your well is "running dry" (pumping well water level down to pump and tripping the "run dry" protection)?

    oh man, I sure hope not!  We are on the waiting list with the drilling company to come look at it, they are booked out 60 days so have our fingers crossed they get a cancellation before then.
