SOLAR PUMPING

 
Another application of solar photovoltaic is Solar Pumping. The solar pumping systems are of two types,

one is DC solar Pumping system and other is AC solar Pumping system. DC solar pumping systems are

small systems which are for domestic purposes, offices and irrigation of small lands up to two Acres. These

DC solar pumping systems are very reliable and cheaper. In this system the pump motor is DC motor and

one controller controls its operation which is MPPT controller responsible for smooth operation of the pump

without the need for batteries. The maximum flow with DC systems can be upto 10,000 Gallons per day with

maximum head of 200ft.
 
Solar AC Pumping system consists of AC Pump, Pump Controller and solar panels. These are big systems

of motor power varying from 2KW to 60KW and their up-front costs vary from Rs.1M to 20M. These AC

pumps are for all kinds of agriculture and big farming applications. The flow can vary from 10m3 per hour to

300 m3 per hour with head varying from 100 ft to 600 ft.
 
Solar Pumping is very specialized job and calls for high technical expertise starting from pump design &

selections to installation and commissioning of systems. The customers should buy systems from

professional companies and get installed from trained pump technicians.
 
Solar pumps are very economical if you compare operational costs with the conventional pumping system

working through Diesel generators or Utility Grid. The payback varies from three to seven years depending

on the type of system you are buying.
