Pumping systems operating on solar energy
- The amount of water pumped is directly related to the amount of solar energy available
- The system includes a variable frequency drive that protects the operation of the pump
- Completely replaces the generator during daylight hours
- Can operate in rural locations with no available power lines
- The system contains MPPT technology which utilizes the best power available
Solar pumping system can provide many benefits
- Greatly reduce diesel consumption from operating the generators
- Shutting down generators creates additional savings from maintenance costs
- Most solar pumping applications require water during summer months when
- the solar energy is at its highest
- Nearly zero maintenance and supervision is required
- The system is completely silent with almost no moving parts
- Contains all protection devices such as surge and over current protection
Phoenix energy provides a detailed technical and financial study
