Irrigation water is vital to keep fruits, vegetables and grains growing to feed the world's population.70% of the world's freshwater withdrawals are used for irrigation. SolarIrrigations Solar Agricultural Water Pumping System bring water to places without any existing infrastructure.
How Solar Pumping System Works?
Solar water irrigation system mainly use solar energy to pump water from rivers, lakes, and ponds. Usually used in irrigation, pressurization, and other application scenarios. It is the most attractive way of supplying water in sunny regions of the world today, especially in remote areas where electricity is scarce.
When the sun shines on the surface of the solar panel, the movement of electrons generates direct current, which is transmitted to the water pump frequency converter through connected wires.The water pump frequency converter is the brain of the system, which uses complex technology and sensor inputs to convert the direct current generated by the solar panel into AC or DC power to drive the water pump to work. The water pump frequency converter generally has functions such as inlet water level detection and storage tank water level detection to prevent dry pumping and over pumping. It can also automatically stop and start pumping based on the changes in light during the day and night. The size of water pumps is determined by calculating the total vertical feet required to propel water, the pressure generated, and the total amount of water required per day.
How to Design an automatic Solar Irrigation Pump System？
With a corresponding increase in population, people's demand for food also increased. There is a need to increase crop yields in a sustainable manner. Using solar technology to run irrigation systems could be one way to meet energy needs, especially in agriculture. A solar irrigation system consists of three infrastructures, namely solar panels, MPPT controllers and water pumps. With the increasing use of solar pumping systems for irrigation, such systems need to be designed for maximum reliability and economical operation.
The automatic solar water pump system has the following major parts:
● Water Pump
● Solar Panels
● Batteries (not must)
● Pump Inverter
● Water Level Sensors
For any solar pumping system, the capacity to pump water is a function of three main variables: pressure, flow, and power to the pump.
1. Determine your needed FLOW,
2. Determine your needed PRESSURE
3. Select a PUMP that will provide the needed flow and pressure
4. Supply enough PV capacity to power the pump to provide the needed flow and pressure.
5. Choose a right Solar pumping inverter to make your full system easy to control and automatic.
