Technical FAQs 4

How do you design a solar water pumping system?

When designing a solar pumping system, the designer must match the individual components together. A solar water pumping system consists of three major components: the solar array, pump controller and electric water pump (motor and pump) as shown in Figure 1.

What are the components of a solar water pumping system?

A solar water pumping system consists of three major components: the solar array, pump controller and electric water pump (motor and pump) as shown in Figure 1. Note: Motor and pump are typically directly connected by one shaft and viewed as one unit, however occasionally belts or gears may be used to interconnect the two shafts.

What is solar water pumping?

Solar water pumping provides a welcome alternative to fuel-burning generators for pumping water. Advantages of PV pumping systems include low operating cost, unattended operation, low maintenance, easy installation, and long life . Solar pumping systems require no fuel.
