Technical FAQs 4

When was solar energy first used to pump water?

The history of efforts made to convert solar energy into mechanical energy/electrical energy to pump water dates back to around 15th–19th century. Pytlinski , reviewed the work of some researchers to use of solar energy to pump water. The first case of solar PV water pump reported in 1964 in the Soviet Union.

When was the first solar power station built?

We believe it to be in 1913 on the outskirts of Cairo, when an inventor from Philadelphia named Frank Shuman built the world’s first solar thermal power station, using the abundant Egyptian sunshine to pump 6,000 gallons of water a minute from the Nile to irrigate a nearby cotton field. 6,000GPM?!? That’s a lot of water!

Who makes solar water pumps?

WBS began producing water pumps in 1998. In 2008, we independently developed and produced solar water pumps. We have OEM production for more than 200 solar pump dealers around the world. Over the past 10 years, we have produced more than 150,000 sets of solar water pumps that have been exported to other parts of the world.

Can solar power power water pumps?

Nowadays, the utilization of PV conversion of solar energy to power the water pumps is an emerging technology with great challenges. The PV technology can be applied on a larger scale and it also presents an environmentally favorable alternative to fossil fuel (diesel and electricity) powered conventional water pumps , .
