Seemingly unsafe location of water pump?
Hey guys take a look at this. I was pulling some panels apart a to troubleshoot my solar panels and I found my water pump next to a lot of electrical components, this cannot be safe ?

People have this idea that the presence of electricity near water equals electrocution, period. The whole thing of pouring water on something electrical and everyone in the vicinity being fried like chicken only happens in cartoons and low budget action movies.
The conditions where it's dangerous are pretty specific. As with anything electrical you need a circuit, in the case of AC, a path to ground. For example, standing in a puddle of water and touching an improperly wired fixture. With 12V DC you won't even feel it.
