When my well (30A double pole) comes on, my lights flicker initially - then while the well is running - I get intermittent flickering. In some cases it's so bad that my exterior lighting which is set to Dusk to Dawn - will turn off, them after the well goes off - turn back on. I have worked with Signature solar on this and they did make a few adjustments to the batteries (priority I think) - this helped a little - but it's still happening. I have attached my Load center sub panel diagram. BTW - max wattage draw when the well is running is 8.2kw.

When my well pump was doing that, I powered down my entire house and I went through all of my terminals in the breaker panel and re-tightened them. It fixed my issue completely. I know there may be other issues, but you could try that if you haven't already. You might also check into getting a soft start for your pump. I am not overly familiar with them, but my understanding is that it is a capacitator that provide enough power to get the pump running initially. I believe you would want to match the soft start to your specific pump make and model so you would need to contact the pump manufacturer.
Sometimes the easiest solution is the best solution.
Sometimes not.
