Solar Panels and Batteries Selection
Calculation Guide:
1. Solar Panel Power = Pump Power X 1.3. Solar Panel Voltage = Pump Voltage.
2. Battery Use Hours = Capacity ÷ (Machine Power ÷ Voltage) X 0.6.
3. Required Capacity = Use Hour ÷ 0.6 x (Machine Power ÷ Voltage).

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What components are included in a complete solar pump system?
A complete system typically includes the submersible pump, a matching motor, an MPPT controller, solar panels, water pipes, necessary cabling, and water level switches for both the well and the tank.
2. Can this solar pump work during the night or on cloudy days?
Yes, the system is designed to run automatically in the sun, but it can also be connected to batteries or a power grid to ensure continuous operation when there is little or no sunshine.
3. How do I determine the right number of solar panels for my pump?
The general formula is to multiply the pump's power by 1.3 to determine the required solar panel power. Additionally, the voltage of the solar panels must match the operational voltage of the pump.
4. What materials are used to ensure the pump's durability?
The pumps are primarily constructed from high-quality Stainless Steel 304 or 316, making them resistant to corrosion and suitable for clean water and borehole applications.
5. What are the typical industrial applications for these pumps?
These solar pumps are widely used in agricultural farming, large-scale irrigation systems, garden maintenance, swimming pools, and for extracting clean water from deep boreholes.
6. How are the pumps packaged for international shipping?
To ensure maximum protection during transport, the pumps are packed using reinforced cartons and sturdy wooden cases, designed to withstand long-distance logistics.
