In an attempt to save as much of this rain falling on my roof from this tropical storm Hilary, I got my system to automatically pump water from the filled blue barrel downslope, that catches water off the roof and some off the ground to go upslope to the much bigger 250 gallon shipping container. It worked beautifully one time. The battery does not have the capacity to power the pump to move much more than the one 55 gallon barrel of water uphill. This storm would have filled several barrels And the solar panel I bought can't charge the battery or run the pump in the rain. Back to the drawing board. Anyway, we were able to fill several trash cans full of water off the roof of the tiny house. Trees and I are loving the rain all the same.
