Solar Pumping

What is a solar submersible pump?

An efficient and sustainable solution for harnessing solar energy for agricultural irrigation.

Agricultural irrigation is essential for crop growth and production in rain-scarce areas.

However, inefficient water use and lack of access to reliable energy sources to operate irrigation systems can be problematic. One solution to these problems is the use of solar submersible pumps.

These pumps work by using solar energy to pump water from a well or groundwater body to the fields, eliminating reliance on electricity or fossil fuels. In addition, the use of solar energy also reduces operating costs and is more environmentally friendly. In short, the solar submersible pump is an efficient and sustainable solution for agricultural irrigation.

¿Qué es una bomba sumergible solar?

A solar submersible pump is a pumping device that uses the sun’s energy to operate. The operation of a solar submersible pump is based on converting solar energy into electrical energy using solar panels, and then using that energy to drive an electric motor to drive a pump.

The main components of a solar submersible pump include:

– Photovoltaic panels: A set of solar cells that convert solar energy into electrical energy.

– Charge controller: Device that regulates the energy generated by the solar panels and sends it to the pump motor.

– Pump motor: It is activated by the electrical energy generated by the solar panels to drive the pump.

– Pump: Moves water from the sump to the field.

– Sump: The place where the water to be pumped is located.

In short, a solar submersible pump is a pumping system that uses the sun’s energy to operate. It is a sustainable and efficient alternative for agricultural irrigation, as it does not require fossil fuels and does not generate greenhouse gas emissions.

Advantages of the solar submersible pump compared to other irrigation pumps:

– Clean, renewable energy: The solar submersible pump does not require fossil fuels to operate, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly option.

– Low operating cost: Once installed, the solar submersible pump has no operating costs, as it uses free energy from the sun.

– Greenhouse gas emission free: As no fossil fuels are required, the solar submersible pump does not emit greenhouse gases.

– Funciona en zonas remotas: La bomba sumergible solar es ideal para zonas remotas donde no hay acceso a la red eléctrica.

– Low maintenance: No major regular maintenance is required.

Applications in agricultural irrigation

– The solar submersible pump is mainly used in agricultural irrigation, to move water from a well or sump to a field.

– It is ideal for remote areas where there is no access to mains electricity and for drip irrigation systems.

– In small and medium scale agricultural projects, both in rural and urban areas.
