The solar water pumping system is a stand-alone
system operating on power generated using solar PV
(photovoltaic) system. The power generated by
solar cells is used for operating DC surface
centrifugal mono-block pumpset for lifting water
from bore / open well or water reservoir for minor
irrigation and drinking water purpose. The system
schematic is shown in the figure below. The system
requires a shadow-free area for installation of
the Solar Panel
The system is provided with
1800 W solar PV panel (24 nos. X 75 Wp) and 2 HP
centrifugal DC mono-block / AC submersible with
inverter. The average water delivery of 2 HP solar
pump will be around 1.38 to 1.40 lakh litre per
day, for a suction head of 6 metres and dynamic
head of 10 metres. The size of suction & delivery
lines is 2.5 inches (62.5 mm).
