What is a Solar Water Pump? A solar water pump is a type of pump that uses energy from the sun to pump water from a source, such as a well or reservoir, to a storage tank or irrigation system. Components of a Solar Water Pump System 1. Solar Panels: Convert sunlight into electrical energy. 2. Controller: Regulates the flow of energy from the solar panels to the pump. 3. Pump: Uses electrical energy to pump water. 4. Motor: Drives the pump. 5. Storage Tank: Stores water pumped from the source. Types of Solar Water Pumps 1. Submersible Pumps: Installed underwater, typically in a well or borehole. 2. Surface Pumps: Installed above ground, typically for irrigation or water supply systems. 3. Centrifugal Pumps: Use a spinning impeller to increase water pressure. 4. Positive Displacement Pumps: Use a piston or diaphragm to displace water.
