Solar water pump installation in Sarajevo

How do you design a solar water pumping system?

When designing a solar pumping system, the designer must match the individual components together. A solar water pumping system consists of three major components: the solar array, pump controller and electric water pump (motor and pump) as shown in Figure 1.

How to install a solar water pump?

For tip number three on solar water pump installation, focus on the correct orientation of panels. In the Southern Hemisphere, like in South Africa, aim the panels to face True North. Match the panel’s angle to your location’s latitude, which is easily searchable online. A 10-degree deviation is generally acceptable.

What are the components of a solar water pumping system?

A solar water pumping system consists of three major components: the solar array, pump controller and electric water pump (motor and pump) as shown in Figure 1. Note: Motor and pump are typically directly connected by one shaft and viewed as one unit, however occasionally belts or gears may be used to interconnect the two shafts.

How do I set up a solar pumping system?

Solar pumping systems rely on consistent solar energy. Determine the solar irradiation for the site on both an annual and monthly basis. Use this data to calculate the power requirements for the pump and size the solar array. Tools like solar irradiance maps or online calculators can provide location-specific insights.
