1. 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.

2. Large Solar Water Pump System

This example pumping system will raise water 30 meters at about 14,000 liters/day. These larger pumps can be configured from 9,000 liters/day with two panels, to 36,000 liters/day with six panels.

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 method. 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. The easiest method is a simple frame attached to a flat rooftop. Another method 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 contract this.

When the water pump is installed, there will be additional charges if support cable and water hose are not provided by the customer.
