The design and installation of a solar photovoltaic pumping system requires careful analysis to ensure proper operation and efficiency. That’s why at Enerflux we make sure to check and analyze each of these aspects:
Calculation of required power
In order to properly size the solar pumping system, it is essential to make an accurate calculation of the required power. This calculation is based on water demand, pumping head and the distance between the well and the destination point. Taking these factors into account, the power required is determined in order to select the appropriate solar panels and batteries.
Choice of pump type and frequency converter
The choice of pump type is another critical aspect of system design. Factors such as pumping capacity, well depth and required flow rate must be considered. In addition, it is important to select a suitable variable frequency drive that allows the pump speed to be controlled and optimized according to the water requirements at any given time.
Well and water extraction considerations
When designing a solar pumping system, it is essential to evaluate the characteristics of the well, such as its depth, diameter and static level. This data is essential to determine the location of the pump and to ensure proper water extraction. In addition, filtering and protection systems should be considered to avoid possible pump blockages and to ensure water quality.
Design of support structure and electrical connections
The design of the support structure is fundamental to ensure the correct installation of the solar panels. Factors such as optimal orientation and tilt must be considered to maximize solar energy collection. A correct electrical installation is also essential, ensuring safe and efficient connections between the solar panels, batteries, charge controllers and pump, in compliance with current regulations.
The design and installation of a solar photovoltaic pumping system requires a comprehensive approach, considering technical, environmental and logistical factors.
At Enerflux we make an adequate power calculation, the choice of the right components for the correct water extraction and the design of the electrical connections in order to ensure an efficient and sustainable system.
