Replacing a very old windmill with a solar pump. Any suggestions, remarks? [View all]

The blades on the old mill are done for so we have to do something. Does not make sense to put up a new mill head. so going with solar. If you have a solar pump, can you tell me what type, how long you have had it and if you are happy with it. Thanks.
