Solar photovoltaic water pumping system ppt

What are the applications of solar water pumping?

2. Introduction to Solar Water Pumping Applications: - Agricultural livestock watering/crop irrigation, home gardens and drip irrigation systems - Domestic potable water for remote homes, cabins or campgrounds - Pond water management and water transfer - Water supply for villages in developing world

How does a solar pumping system work?

It describes how solar energy is used to pump water from sources like wells, rivers, and ponds through pipes to where it is needed. It explains that solar pumping systems are sized based on water requirements and can pump water during the day using solar power and at night using batteries charged during the day.

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 a solar water pump?

A solar water pump theoretically consists of three key components: a pump control system that may be just an on-off switch or may be a more complex electronic unit, a motor and the pump; however, in practice they are considered as one unit and generally called the “water pump” or in this guideline the “solar water pump”.

What does a solar water pump manufacturer/supplier do?

solar water pump manufacture/supplier will have tables or computer software which specify the flow from the solar water pumping system for various heads and solar irradiation. The “solar water pump designer” shall be capable of: Using the manufacturers data sheets or software to select the most appropriate solar water pumping system.
