Solar Water Pump: Definitive Guide

Are you looking for solar water pump?

Are you looking for solar water pump manufacturers in China?

Buying solar water pump is easy, but you have to choose the right solar water pump supplier. When you are choosing solar water pump, you should consider some factors, which are easy to use, convenience, efficiency of solar water pump and also durable for this pumps.

Solar powered submersible pump is designed for both of irrigation and drinking water supply for rural area which is not easy to connect to power grid. Modern solar submersible pump is driven by PV panel or PV array, the energy conversion efficiency is about 18%-20%, so it can use power generation on daytime to pump water, so it has higher efficiency than other power on demand pumps.

1. What is a solar water pump?

A solar water pump is a photovoltaic water pumping system that uses electricity from solar panels to drive the water pump. In some cases, batteries are added to provide power for the pump to be used at night.

2. Which solar water pump is best?

It is difficult to say which solar water pump is the best. It depends on what you are using it for, whether it is for agriculture, domestic water, river oxygenation or farm water supply.

For different application scenarios, choose a different type of solar water pump.

In terms of quality, choose a stainless steel casing, because the pump is to be placed in the water for a long time, if you use iron surgery, it will rust over time and affect the quality of the product

In terms of price, be sure not to choose the cheapest, low price means minus quality, such as the use of poor quality motor, poor quality solar panels.

Although the price is cheap, but not much time, the solar water pump will have quality problems, seriously affecting the life of the solar water pump

3. Application examples of solar PV water pumping systems

Solar water pump for Agricultural irrigation, gardens and greenhouses in remote areas

Solar water pump for Water supply for suburban parks and farms

Solar water pump for Oxygenators for fish ponds and other aquaculture farms

Solar water pump for Swimming pool water circulation systems

Solar water pump for Livestock drinking water systems

Solar water pump for Water for domestic use

Solar water pump for fountain

4. Who manufactures solar water pumps?

There are many manufacturers of water pumps, and prices vary greatly, but not many manufacturers of solar water pumps. The most famous solar water pump manufacturer in the world is lorentz, but their solar water pumps are very expensive.

For the high-end market there are certain advantages, but for the general market, it is difficult to popularize them due to the price factor.

SUNVIS as a professional solar water pump manufacturer and supplier in China, we produce and provide good products with high quality and low price. We offer the best prices under the premise of quality assurance. We guarantee the profit of our distributors.

5. What is the largest solar water pump?

The largest solar water pumping system in China was installed in the Tao Cheng Aden Nature Reserve. This PV water lifting system is not only the largest PV water lifting system built in China, but also the most efficient and automated PV water lifting system built in China. The system was designed to install 160KW modules with a head of 400m and a flow rate of 100m³/h. Three 75KW (taking into account the impact of high altitude) PV water lifting inverters are used to control four 37KW pumps (three with one standby).

This solar water pump system project will improve the drinking water condition of 7 villager groups, 292 households, 1,239 people and 868 head of livestock in Mugua Village, Wajao Township, so that the people can drink safe and clean running water.

6. What are the different types of solar water pumps?

In terms of head size, there are

Solar deep well water pumps

Solar submersible pumps

Solar land pumps

Solar 12V micro pumps

In terms of usage

Solar irrigation pumps

Solar home pumps

Solar Oxygenating Pumps

Solar garden pumps

In terms of motor structure

Brushed DC Solar Water Pump

Brushless DC solar water pump (motor type) 

Brushless DC solar water pump (magnetic drive isolation type)

7. Which motor is used in solar water pump?

The drive motors used in different systems are different. In small photovoltaic water pumping systems, brushless DC permanent magnet motors are used in order to obtain the highest possible system efficiency.

8. What is the major component in solar water pump?

The main components in a solar water pumping system are: solar panels, PV pump inverter, DC water pump, water pipes and plug-in fittings. But if you want to store or use water at night, you need to add batteries.

9. How far will a solar pump push water?

There is no standard for how far a solar pump will push water, it depends on the depth of the well, the power of the solar panels and the power of the pump.

If the well is not too deep, the pump is powerful, and the solar panel is powerful, then the amount of water that can be sprayed will be greater. If not, then the volume will be smaller.

10. What size solar pump do I need?

Different needs require different solar pump sizes.

Firstly, you need to determine whether the solar pump is for agricultural irrigation, or for domestic water supply?

Secondly, is there a water tower and what is the depth of the water?

Finally, how much water will be used per day?

The diagram below will teach you how to calculate and choose the right solar water pump for you.

11. Which type of solar water pump is most efficient?

A DC solar pump is more efficient than an AC solar pump because it needs less solar panels to be effective. A DC solar pump outputs at maximum capacity with fewer solar panels, but an AC solar pump needs more solar panels because the electricity has to be converted into AC for utility.

12. How can I make a solar water pump?

If you are a hands-on person, making your own solar water pump is easy and you can do it yourself at home if you know the principles!

But a homemade solar water pump is only good for watering flowers or fountain, not for domestic use or irrigation, because the head of a homemade solar water pump does not reach the required level.

See the video below which will show you how to make your own solar water pump at home

13. How do you install a solar water pump?

The installation of a solar water pump is very simple, as the main components are the solar panel, the photovoltaic water pump controller and the DC water pump, which can be installed in 5 minutes by following the instructions.

For larger solar water pumps used for irrigation, we can also design installation drawings to suit your project and relieve you of all installation problems.

Please refer to the following solar water pump installation video

14. How long can a solar water pump last?

As the solar water pump is not equipped with a battery, the hours of operation per day are determined by the light, if the sun is shining every day then the solar water pump will work for 5-6 hours per day but not at night.

15. What are the disadvantages of solar water pumps?

There are two sides to everything and solar water pumps also have their advantages but also disadvantages. The main disadvantages of solar water pump is as below:

1. High upfront costs, the initial investment can be costly for some systems.

2, Need good sunlight, especially in the morning 9 am to 3 pm prime time, of course, if the rainy days, the demand for water is not too big, so the rainy days do not have a big impact on the solar water pump

16. What is the difference between solar pump and normal pump?

Solar pumps are powered with DC current, while electric pumps are powered with AC current. The DC current produced by the PV panel is sent to the controller and then immediately to the pump.

17. Can you run a water pump with solar?

If there is no solar power, then only AC water pump can be used. If it is a water pump for home, we suggest you can install a set of batteries as a backup, when the power outage, you can use battery power to pump water

18. What is the price of solar water pump?

The solar water pump is composed of two parts: the DC pump and the solar panel. The price of the solar water pump varies greatly depending on the configuration. If you want to know more about the price, please contact us. Our professional solar water pump technician will recommend the right pump for you

19. How many solar panels do I need to run a well pump?

The size of the solar panel is determined by the power of the pump. When we calculate the size of the solar power, we must first know your daily water consumption and well depth, if you are not sure, please contact us in time, our engineers will answer your questions

After the above article, you should already know how to choose the right solar water pump.
