The motor used in this kind of pump works with AC, which means the DC generated by the panels gets changed to AC with the help of an inverter. This conversion leads to power failure from production & utilization.
Solar Pump Advantages
- The installations of solar pumps are flexible & applicable to different applications.
- It allows people to handle their water supply for drinking, farm animals watering, irrigation, & other housing applications.
- Generally, the usage of water in summer is utmost. During this season, the PV panels can generate the most power so that more water can be pumped into the water tank.
- Because of the ease of PV power-driven water pumps, solar technology is consistent, as well as needs small protection.
Solar Pump Applications
- The applications of solar pumps mainly used where pumping water is required.
- Water supply for animals
- Water supply for harvest irrigation
- Water supply for Cooking and Drinking water supply.
Hybrid solar allows your pump to operate with solar only, to combine solar with grid or generator power by blending power sources or to operate only with grid / generator. Having this automated choice of power based on water demand means that almost any pumping requirement can be supported by solar in a primary or secondary way.
Solar power is almost always the cheapest power source, usually cheaper than grid and always cheaper than diesel generated electricity. On a global average solar is <50% of grid and 300% to 400% less than diesel per kWh. Using solar when you can and an alternative power sources when you have to, gives you the best of both worlds.
