Contact UsLet's say you want to pump water from a depth of 50 feet at a rate of 5 GPM using a 12V pump that is 70% efficient. The region receives an average of 6 hours of sunlight per day, and you want to use a 12V solar panel and battery. Using the Solar Water Pump Sizing Calculator, the minimum solar panel wattage required is calculated as follows:
The point is that connecting solar energy directly to a water pump shortens the life of the pump. If the pump's design is such that it needs AC voltage, then the pump will burn out quickly. Solar panels produce DC voltage and will burn out AC appliances in a matter of minutes. It gets worse too.
You could connect a solar panel directly to a water pump. It is not a good idea, though. The erratic pulse of electricity produced by the solar panel will burn out the pump at some point. That process can take a few seconds to a few years. The point is that connecting solar energy directly to a water pump shortens the life of the pump.
With our DC Direct Solar Pumps, there's no need for a big inverter to power the pump. In fact, we see that most water pumping applications are well suited for solar systems that are directly connected to solar panels. Let's chat through a few examples of when a solar powered pump might be a better option compared to its AC counterpart:
A solar water pump system typically consists of the following components: Solar Panels: These convert sunlight into electricity. Controller: It regulates the power from the solar panels to the pump. Pump: This is the device that moves water from the source (well, river, or reservoir) to the desired location.
