Tracking Sunlight is the fuel of solar panels. So, more exposure of the solar panels to sunlight means higher energy yield, more efficiency and more water output of the pumping system. Tracking is a means of achieving the maximum possible exposure. It is a mechanism for moving the solar panels as the sun moves across …
Step 1 – Water Requirement The first step in designing a solar powered water pump system is to determine the overall water requirement for the operation. This can be done in part by using the average water requirement values for various crops and livestock. Step 2 – Water Source The configuration of the water system …
The installation of the solar pumping system should be performed safely and according to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Many solar water pump manufacturers/suppliers offer complete packaged systems including the wires/cables between the array, pump controller and water pump so that electrically the system is just a plug and play type system.
