There was a question posted in another forum. I want to re ask this question because I think it has some value to others.
Pert info off grid house with large PV system. House has a well with a normal pump, pressure tank, and pressure switch.
They were asking about using the wasted energy after the batteries were charged to top the pressure tank back off. There were bunches off messed up responses because no one understood the question or know about this type of power systems.
They did not give a lot of the info.
I responded with;
If the old pressure switch is set at 45/65 (not changing this) then install a second switch at 60/65. This second switch could run off a relay coming off the dump load on the charge controller. There would need to be a timer to keep the relay open for an amount of time for the pump to make a full cycle (was thinking like a minute or so).
Did I fall off my rocker?
Did I over look a simpler setup. They wanted to be able to set and forget.
