How to Choose the Right Solar Water Pump for Off-Grid Irrigation Projects

The right solar water pump for off-grid irrigation can be challenging to decide on but it’s absolutely critical if you want your plants to flourish and grow beneficial crops without wasting time, energy or money. The solar water pumps use the sun to power the movement of water from wells and tanks, or from rivers, to where the plants require it. 

Selecting Solar Water Pumps for Off-Grid Irrigation

Varieties of crops use different amounts of water, if your pump can’t make that much water available to your plants you have a problem. A submersible pump is good, if water is far underground, for example. If water is on the surface a surface or centrifugal pump may be appropriate. Then there is the issue of the height or distance water must travel; pumps have limits to how high or far they are able to push water. Select a stronger pump if your field is distant or higher up. 

Best Solar Water Pump Models For Irrigation Off Grid

As is the case when selecting any type of solar water pump, Weiyuing has a selection designed for various applications. For instance, if you have a deep well, then our submersible solar pump is perfect. It can elevate water dozens of meters without losing power. And if you get a flat, it’s this pump, which runs quieter and offers solid protection against dust and water damage. 

How to measure Solar Water Pump efficiency

A solar water pump is an intelligent alternative to all this, it works without the need to pay for electricity or fuel. But not all solar water pumps operate the same. To obtain the ideal submersible water pump for a big farm, it is important to verify how efficient the pump is. Efficiency refers to how effectively the pump converts the energy from the sun into movement of water. A good solar pump will require less sunlight to pump more water. It saves money and helps plants get the water they need, even on a less sunny day. 

Solar Water Pump for Remote Agricultural Use

This makes watering crops hard. Solar water pumps are a good solution for these far-flung farms, as they work with the sun’s light free to all and found everywhere. Yet not all solar water pumps are well-suited to remote areas. The pump irrigation should be powerful, trustworthy and easy to use. In short, the pump must be durable enough to function all day in the AC/DC desert sun. Compatibility with strong material Weiying solar water pumps have a longer service life in harsh weather. 

How much Solar Water Pump Off-Grid Irrigation

Determining the correct size of a solar water pump is crucial. If you scale down the surface pump it would give insufficient water for the plants. And if it is too large, it will squander money and energy. To figure the right size, farmers should consider three key things: how much water they need; how high up it must be lifted and the weight of that water in pounds; and how many hours of sunlight they normally have. Farmers must first know their crops’ daily water use. That depends on the crop how many plants there are and the weather. For instance: on hot days, some plants require different amounts of water.
