The different usage
for the
Solar Water Pump
The Solar Water Pump applicationsThe major application areas for solar powered water pumps are the following: - Pumping water from a well using a solar water well pump
- Moving water on the surface using surface delivery pumps
- solar water fountain pump
The first two belongs mostly to rural areas, the last one can be found in sub-urban gardens. Rural areas and remote areas can be far away from the grid; click here to view my offgrid solar power page. A solar power water pump is a perfect solution for a remote location, it can work un-attendant and requires very small maintenance effort (fire and forget) Elements of Solar Powered Water PumpsWater pumps powered on sun radiation are pretty simple systems containing a Direct Current (DC) pump, solar electric panels and a pump controller.
The pump controller is the interface between the solar panels DC source and the pump load. battery backup and charge controller are optional. The Solar Water Well Pump Submersible solar pumps pump water from wells and fit to the well casing in a drilled hole. Casing sizes between 4’’ to 6’’ are available; 6’’ is the most common size. Smaller than 4’’ casing for older wells are not offered on the market. The deeper the well is the bigger the size of the pump is. Depth can be anywhere from a few feet to 1800 feet (550 meters). Solar operated well pumps are used for moderate amount of water pumping for a moderate size field ManufacturersTo get the feeling, view the WEB sites of Sun Pumps, Shurflo, Grundfos or Conergy.
