IntroductionSolar water pumps and dc pumps are currently being used to irrigate crops, water livestock, and provide potable drinking water. Solar water pump uses peak solar array output which frequently coincides with high water demand during long, dry summer days. In the event of cloudy weather solar water pump systems often use storage tanks to store excess water. Unlike generator powered water pumping systems, solar water pumps do not require fuel or constant maintenance. Solar water pumps can also be designed for portability to be moved as water demand or change of seasons requires. Solar water pumps cost less to operate, offer modular capability to be quickly expanded as demand increases, unlike a generator or windmill water pumps.
Typical solar water pump applications:
- Irrigation (lift and pressurized)
- Livestock (deep wells, pipeline transfer, pond and stream protection)
- Aquaculture (transfer, circulation, aeration, de-icing)
- Home and village supply
- Medical clinics
- Camp sites, vacation cabins
- Water purification and treatment systems.......
