Components of a solar water pumping system

Source of water

  • Surface water such as rivers, springs, ponds, ponds, lakes
  • Wells or Boreholes: either hand-dug or drilled.

Pump

  • This is the heart of the solar pumping system.
  • There are two main pumps from Simusolar;
  • Surface Pumps for use with surface water sources and
  • Submersible pumps for use with wells or boreholes.

Solar Power

  • The solar panels provide the power to run the pump.
  • The number of panels determines the amount of water the pump will produce, depending on the power range of the pump.

Surface & Submersible Water Pumps Allow farmers to farm year-round and increase the size and quality of their harvest.
