What is Solar Water Pumping System?
Solar water pumping system employs Photovoltaic (PV) technology, the energy from sunlight is collected by the array of solar panels, which is converted into DC electricity energy. This passes into the solar controller for rectification, stabilization, amplification and filtering and then finally pumps large volume of water.
How Solar Water Pumping System Works?
A solar water pump is an application of photovoltaic technology which converts solar energy into electricity to run the pumping system thereby, replacing erratic grid supply and pollution-causing diesel-powered versions. The solar water pump is powered by solar modules that helps draw surface or ground water out for irrigation.
The inverter of the pump converts the direct current output of the PV system into alternating current, which drives the pump. These inverters also adjust the output frequency and voltage in real-time, corresponding to variations in the sunlight intensity to attains the highest power point tracking.
India’s agriculture sector is heavily dependent on monsoons for natural irrigation. Pumps are used as an artificial means to provide water for irrigation.
SUNREFORM SOLAR offers both DC and AC range of Solar Water Pumps in both Surface and Submersible categories. These pumps help reduce farmers’ dependency on expensive fuels and their maintenance costs as opposed to conventional irrigation systems
