Water Pump
The water pump moves the water from the water source, a river, dam, or bore, through pipes to either a point of usage or a

An inverter is a DC-to-AC converter. AC solar pumping systems are growing in popularity, with new AC solar water pumping systems able to power standard
The term ‘pump controller’ can be used to mean any one of the following. The controller functions to turn the pump on and off electrically.
The power output of a solar array is used or manipulated by the components to which it is connected. A maximum power point tracker (MPPT)
The amount of power a solar array generates is directly proportional to the solar resource available throughout the day. Two critical calculations can be performed
If the solar array is shaded in any way, its power output will be reduced. If there is continuous shading at the same position on
A solar module will receive the most solar radiation and produce the greatest amount of power if it faces directly to the sun; however, the
A solar array is the electrical combination of several solar modules. The power output of this array will be the sum of the power outputs
There are four main configurations for solar pumping systems. Note that the configurations and applications detailed below are not exhaustive; they are designed to give
A typical solar-powered pumping system contains the following equipment: a solar array, which converts sunlight into electricity; system controllers, which control the array and the
