Environment Friendly Water Pumping Solutions

A regular supply of clean water for irrigation and drinking purposes can be a big issue in certain parts of the country, especially those that are remote and disconnected from the bigger cities. However, a technological invention that has helped farmers in getting clean pumped water for irrigation and for drinking supply in off-grid areas, are solar water pump controllers.

What is a Solar Pump Controller?

A solar pump controller is an eco-friendly and cost-effective electronic device solution for fetching water in rural locations. It is one of the key components of solar water pumping systems that control circulating pumps to harvest as much heat as is possible from solar panels. The solar pump controller also protects systems from overheating.

Working

The solar pump controller consists of an array of solar panels that generate the required power and voltage. When there is enough sunshine, it converts the direct current from solar panels to a 3-phase AC output. This AC output is then used to drive the water pump to fetch water from nearby and distant sources to places where it is needed.

The solar pump controller is based on the MPPT or Maximum Power Point Tracking which extracts maximum power and also operates the motor at a variable speed based on the power input to drive, so as to achieve maximum output efficiency.

Features of the Solar Pump Controller

Here are some exciting features of solar pump controllers that make it extremely easy to use and maintain.

• Since a solar pump controller utilises energy from the sun, it is highly cost-effective.

• It doesn’t requires a battery and starter.

• It uses existing AC motors for operations.

• It offers higher efficiency and longevity.

• It is highly durable and reliable.

Benefits of Solar Pump Controllers

• Easy to install.

• Helps save time spent in collecting and transporting water.

• It can help cultivate multiple crops at the same time.

• Incurs lower operation expenses and are easy to maintain.

• They have zero tailpipe emissions of greenhouse gases.

The product, while working with solar panels, provides renewable and clean energy, which enables users to save on energy costs, helping the environment as well.
