Harnessing the Power of the Sun:
The Ultimate Off-Grid Water Pumping Solution
If your farm has a high-quality water source that is located far away from any power source, it is definitely worth considering. The cost of running electricity from the main power source for a distance of one hundred meters or more can be quite expensive. Additionally, the ongoing expenses of regularly pumping even small amounts of water for your agricultural and livestock needs can make the overall setup quite costly. The Solar Electrix team specializes in designing water pump solutions that enable you to fully utilize your resources. These systems are powered by solar panel installations, which not only save you a significant amount of money on fuel but also reduce the time spent on maintenance.
Retire from Running Generators and Diesel powered Pumps. Put the Sun to Work on your land for better Yields and Profits
Solar pumps are powered by sunlight and can be used to irrigate crops and provide drinking water for livestock. The main components are simple and streamlined to work in harmony together: water pump (submersible or surface pump)control electronics and solar panels.
Solar Water Pump Advantage
- Environmentally Friendly.
- Growing crops through the dry season.
- Solar water pumps are sustainable and use renewable energy.
- They do not produce harmful pollutants which keeps the air and soil on your farm clean.
- Compare this to fossil fuel pumps they create a lot of pollution both with fumes into the air and spills of fuel into your soil
(This one is very important to us).
Rainfall is becoming more unpredictable and as the climate changes agriculture will become more difficult across the tropics.
The agricultural sector needs to find new sustainable practices to help tackle the problem and ways to cope with the changes.
Solar irrigation is a fantastic option that is available now.
The typical solar-powered water pump system combines a vertical multistage or submersible pump, solar panels, array frame, Solar inverter and float switch/ pressure switch to deliver the complete rural water supply and transfer system. The system components are constructed from high-quality weather-resistant materials that have been tried and tested in harsh outdoor conditions over the last 20 years. Solar Elextrix Pump inverters, and controllers are covered by a two-year warranty and has a life expectancy of 6-10 years, while solar panels have a 25-year warranty and Solar mounting frames have a 10-year warranty. Solar Electrix specialises in the system design and installation of solar-powered pump systems. Regardless of your application
The process of setting up a solar water pump involves positioning the solar panels in a spot with direct sunlight exposure, either on a pole or a ground mount. It is important to adjust the angle of the panels based on the latitude to maximize solar energy absorption. The pump itself is usually placed close to the water source, whether it is a well, lake, or river.
Properly securing the pump is essential to prevent any movement that could cause damage to both the pump and the piping. Additionally, connecting the pump to the panels requires appropriate electrical wiring, often with a controller to regulate the system's operation.
When it comes to maintenance, solar water pumps require minimal upkeep. Regularly cleaning the solar panels ensures optimal performance, while inspecting the pump and its components helps to identify any potential mechanical or piping issues. It is recommended to check for debris or sediment accumulation, especially in the pump's filter, and to ensure that all electrical connections are secure and free of corrosion.
To ensure smooth operation, scheduling professional inspections on an annual basis can help maintain the system's efficiency, although many system owners are able to conduct their own checks successfully. With no fuel costs or emissions, solar water pumps offer a reliable and sustainable way to access water once they are installed.
Think Long Term Saving
Very strong ROI against diesel powered pumping, reducing water production costs and reducing carbon footprint
Switching from a diesel generator powered pump system to a solar-powered one can lead to significant cost savings over a 10-year period, as solar is up to four times more cost-effective. With the system paying for itself in less than three years, the switch presents a lucrative opportunity for long-term financial benefits and operational savings.
Investing in solar water pumps can result in significant cost savings throughout the lifespan of the pump. By eliminating the need for fuel or grid electricity, ongoing expenses are kept to a minimum. The initial investment is balanced out by the absence of electricity bills and the low maintenance requirements of these pumps. Additionally, with the continuous increase in energy prices, solar-powered options become even more economically viable. Furthermore, numerous regions provide incentives for the installation of renewable energy systems, which can potentially reduce the initial investment required. In the case of agricultural applications, the reliable water supply provided by solar water pumps enhances crop yield and quality, further enhancing the return on investment. Lastly, the long lifespan of solar panels, typically ranging from 20 to 25 years, ensures that cost savings continue for many years after reaching the break-even point. This contributes to improved financial outcomes for users in the long run.
Grundfos solar water solutions deliver a safe, reliable water supply, eliminate energy costs and offer climate-friendly independence from power grids. No matter what the application, solar water solutions provide unmatched flexibility for an economically and environmentally sustainable water supply.
