SOLAR WATER PUMPING

Solarpumpsareverycosteffectiveforremote
applications(whereutilityinterconnectcosts

Off-grid homes and cabins
Livestock watering: pond and stream
protection, rotational grazing, remote
pasturing
Aquaculture: aeration, circulation, and deicing.
Irrigation: best for small scale applications

TECHNICAL SEMINAR

There are 2 ways of using solar

power to pump water:
1. Directly connecting the solar panel to the pump, or
2. Charging a battery with the solar panel, and then using the
battery to run the pump.
Both of these systems have drawbacks:
1. If the pump is directly powered by the solar panel, then water
can only be pumped when the sun is shining.
2. Charging the battery first, and then using that to run the pump
is less efficient, plus two batteries would be needed so that one
could be charging while the other runs the pump, making the
system more expensive.

Disadvantage
Potentially high initial system cost
Decreased water production in cloudy
weather
Water storage and/ or battery needed for
providing full time water
Must have good sun exposure between 9 am
and 3 pm

Conclusion
Solar energy is there where you need it. You do not
need to truck it to your pasture. When the sun is
shining brightly, making the cattle more thirsty, the PV
system is also pumping more water for them. When it
is overcast and rainy, the PV system will not pump as
much water, but the cattle will not need as much
drinking water during cloudy weather. Therefore, using
solar generated electricity to pump water for livestock
can be cost-effective and reliable.But the system
needed a lot to be developed & widely accepted.
