Standard Solar Water Pump System
This water pumping system is solar direct (no battery backup) and is separate from the power system so it
will not interfere with battery charging. The pump is rated to deliver a maximum of about 400 liters
(100 Gallons) per hour while the sun shines. The one solar module used for water pumping is sized for
extra efficiency on cloudy days and could actually power two pumps on sunny days.

Customer Responsibilities
Customer provides the equipment closet:
The equipment must be stored in a well ventilated, clean, dry, secure location. An earth grounding rod must be provided. The batteries must be accessible for routine maintenance and cleaning. The charge controller must be accessible for checking the system voltage. A typical size is: 2m wide, 1.5m high, 1m deep.
Customer provides the solar module mounting environment:
Solar panels must be mounted securely in an open area without shadows from trees or other objects 9:00 am to 5:00 pm all year. They must be located as near as possible to the equipment closet and/or water pump. In the best environment we use a simple frame and attach it to your flat rooftop. Another environment is a metal pole in the ground with a cement base and guy wires. You can also attach a pole to an existing structure with additional base and support. In any case the panels must be accessible for maintenance and removal.
Playa Systems can work with you on these requirements.
