Abstract:
Given the opportunities available to use renewable energy for water pumping for both water distribution networks and for the extraction of water for irrigation, an assessment of the viability of solar pumps needs to be assessed.
The assessment presented in this report includes the following tasks:
- Review the types of PV systems that could be used to run the pump taking into consideration the efficiency and cost. Suppliers and Dealers of such systems should be identified and consulted.
- Distinguish the appropriate type, model, and number of solar panels needed for different uses, with particular focus on pumping capacity for potable water distribution networks and agriculture, to always ensure the highest performance and efficiency.
- Identify all required electronic device (the controller unit) which matches the PV power needed to regulate the operation, starting and stopping the pump.
- Describe and highlight on the efficiency of such PV system especially in bad weather and in low light conditions such as cloud cover and storm.
- Outline the general maintenance needed for such system, including financial and technical resource requirements
