Guide to Solar Water Pump Sizing
Please note that the listed depths are the depth limits for each configuration, and if the pumping results are at the low end of your requirements, look to increase your solar panel configuration
Discharge head is how high the water needs to go. Getting the TDH right is key to picking the right pump size. Think about how you plan to use the solar water pump. Consider the water source, where it will go, and any special needs you have. This helps pick the right pump capacity and power for your situation.
It should meet your water needs and work well with your solar power. How do I size the solar array for my water pump? Figure out how much power your pump needs, then pick the right number and size of solar panels. Consider the pump's power, the total dynamic head, and your location's sunlight.
The cost varies dramatically. A small, all-in-one solar fountain pump kit can be $20 – $50. A larger solar well pump costs between $1,200 and $3,000, for an average of $2,000. Prices depend on the well pump size, flow rate, and more. What are the disadvantages of a solar water pump?
Pump Efficiency: Find a pump that uses energy well. This means it will make the most of the sun's power and waste less energy. Efficiency is measured in gallons per watt (GPW) or liters per watt (LPW). Solar System Compatibility: Make sure the solar pump fits with your solar power setup. Check the solar panel size, voltage, and other parts.
