    The key takeaways are that a solar pumping system consists of PV arrays, pumps, motors, controllers and batteries. It uses solar energy to power water pumps for applications like village water supply, livestock watering and irrigation.

    The different components of a solar pumping system are PV arrays, which convert solar energy to electricity, pumps to convert mechanical energy to hydraulic energy, motors to rotate the pump shaft, controllers to regulate power from the PV arrays to the motor, and batteries for energy storage.

    Some common types of pumps used in solar pumping systems include submerged centrifugal pumps, submerged pumps with surface mounted motors, reciprocating positive displacement pumps, floating pump sets and surface suction pumps.

    ATERNATIVE DESIGN & ITS DRAW-BACK

    There are two ways using solar power to solar-pump


    - directly connecting the solar panel to the pump.
    - charging the battery with solar-panel and then using the
    battery to run the pump.

    Draw-backs
    -if the pump is directly power to the solar panel then
    water can only the pumped when the sun is shining.
    -charging the battery first and then using that to run.
    APPLICATION

    Village water supply


    Livestock watering
    Irrigation
