SOLAR PUMPING SYSTEM




The solar system comprises: stationary
or tracking solar array; controller;
electric motor and pump
The system pumps water with the use
of power generated by the sunlight
Solar electric cells convert sunlight
directly into DC power (photovoltaic
process)
The controller converts the variable DC
voltage into three phase voltage to run
a brushless pump

STRENGTHS
Solar system
Diesel system
Ideal for remote &
unattended locations:
•
No fuel & little or no
maintenance
•
No need of pump or
motor attendants
Little maintenance of the
pump
Solar pumping system are
noise and pollution free
Ease of inspection &
maintenance of motor
drive head
Reliability and ease of use
Wide range of applications
• Capacity 10-1700 l/min
•
Total head 15 – 450 m

WEAKNESSES
Solar system
• High capital cost
• Restricted daily
flow
• Limited storage
capacity due to
above
• Daily flow reduced
with increase in
total head
Diesel system
• High O&M costs
• No operation due
to shortage of fuel
• Power losses
through drive head
& shafting
• Greenhouse gas
emission
• Human factor

OPPORTUNITIES for both systems
To address the water demand of
a large number of IDPs
 To store water
 To use tap stands with less effort
for collecting water and reduced
queueing time
 To increase access to safe
drinking water


40000 litres x 1 USH x 365 days = 14600000 / 2200 = 6636 Euro
Conclusions



Solar system is sustainable and
reliable: no fuel, no need of operator,
pump and controller are maintenancefree
Solar system is cost-effective: 4 times
the hand pump’s daily flow with
negligible recurrent cost
Diesel system has high pumping & lift
capacity: 3 times the solar system’s
daily flow

COOPI
Conclusions


Over 10 years of service, unit output
cost of diesel pump is higher than
solar: 558 Euro against 368 Euro
For a better analysis of field data
(i.e. maintenance), the appraisal
should be extended over a longer
period of service-time
