Wind turbines work on a very simple principle: the wind turns the blades, which causes the axis to rotate, which is attached to a generator, which produces electricity (typically variable-frequency AC, which is then converted via power electronics/inverters so it can be used.

A solar generator can power a well pump. However, some well pumps require much more power than others. The daily power consumption of the well pump will help you correlate it to the ideal solar generat.

For compact, grid-connected setups, expect $3,000–$8,000 per installed kilowatt in many markets, with higher-end projects exceeding that when weatherproofing, control systems, and long-distance interconnections are required. Assumptions: region, specs, labor hours.
