A 2 HP solar powered pump can usually carry water over a horizontal distance of 700 metres, though pressure is somewhat reduced at the end of the plastic pipe. However, the flow of the water from the pump would also be influenced by the local regional topography. Hence, the above measures are tentative figures.

Q: What is the difference between DSS, DPC, DSC series? A: DSS series are solar screw pumps. The characteristic of screw pump is high head and small flow. Suitable for domestic water supply.DPC series are solar-powered plastic impeller submersible pumps. It is cost-effective, has a long service life, is more durable than a screw pump, and has a larger flow rate. However, the head is relatively sma...

Q: Can I use the existing cable on my AC pump to power the solar pump? A: The solar pumps use a 4 core or 3 core cable and needs to be sized correctly based on the size of the solar pump required as well as the total cable distance. This is to ensure that the pumps performance does not get affected by volt drop over the cable distance. As long as the diameter requirements are met, the existing cab...

Q: Which is better--a DC or an AC pump? A: The DC pump can directly use the DC power generated by the solar panel to run the water pump. Reduce the power loss in the conversion process. Therefore, the DC pump is more efficient and requires fewer solar panels. The DC pump also does not require an inverter to convert the direct current generated by the solar panel into alternating current. Reduced c...

Q: What is a submersible Vs Surface solar water pump?A: The difference between these two types of pumps is in the names (among many other things). A submersible water pump is one that needs to be underwater at all times to function. These are best used in boreholes and wells. They tend to be more expensive to install and maintain. On the other hand, a surface solar water pump is one that stays abo...

Q: How far can I install the solar panels from the pump?A: The Solar pumps we use work on low voltage so extending the cable too far will affect the performance and thicker cables need to be used to counter the volt drop. We would not recommend extending the cable more than 100-120m depending on the size and voltage of the pump. E-mail/Skype:sales08..........comTel/WhatsApp:+86 15058288607

Q: Can I use solar or wind power to keep my stock tank from freezing?A: That depends on how cold it gets at your site, if your tank is insulated/bermed and how you plan to keep your tank from freezing. Heating elements consume a lot of power to keep water from freezing which would require a large and expensive solar array to operate. There are bubbler system on the market that simply circulate the...

Q: What size cable and discharge pipe should I use?A: The proper size cable to use in between your controller and the pump depends on the What type of water pump do you plan to use and the distance you need to run the wire. The size of the pump's discharge pipe depends on what type of pump you plan to use, the distance from the pump to the tank and the GPM flow rate that the pump will produce. The...

Q: Can I use a solar pump to pressurize a tank for domestic use?A: Maybe. Keep in mind that 1 psi = 2.31 feet of head. I would not recommend using a diaphragm pump for this application because you run the risk of rupturing the diaphragm if your pressure switch malfunctions. Another reason not to use a solar direct pump to pressurize a tank is that your tank might get low in the early morning or la...

Q: How Do I Ensure That I Also Have Water When The Sun Does Not Shine?A: Normally, a storage tank is integrated in the design of a solar water pumping system. The storage tank acts as a “battery”. When the sun shines, the tank is filled up, when it is cloudy or dark, water can be used from the tank which is placed at a high point. It is also possible to include a backup battery in a solar water pu...

Q: How does solar PV panels work?A: Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels converts sunlight directly to electricity (DC or Direct Current). Your solar panel will be most efficient in your locations peak sunlight hours. Sunlight hitting the surface of a cell knocks electrons loose, which then travel through a circuit from one larger to the other, providing a flow of electricity. For more detailed informa...
