Solar water pumps
Solar water pumps ensure a continuous supply of fresh, clean water even in the absence of a mains power supply.
How it works
A solar water pump system works by turning the sun’s energy (collected by solar panels) into electricity. This electricity is used directly to power a motor, which in turn pumps water from the ground or stream into a storage tank. As the water is used, the solar pump delivers more water into the tank, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh, clean water.
The pump systems can be tailored according to ongoing water requirements, the water storage volume, the amount of sunshine and the depth of the source. And while the systems are widely used in many developing countries, the technology is equally suited to any off-grid application, whether as a standalone system or as part of a complete off-grid energy solution.
Benefits
- Fresh, clean water in even the most remote areas
- Automatic and self regulating – needs no human intervention
- No mains electricity required
- Eliminates diesel generators and associated recurrent costs of fuel and maintenance.
