Solar Pump System Installation And Repair

By Anna Ward


The green energy industry has received a lot of interest over the last couple of years. This is largely due to the fact that there are many green energy solutions that can benefit the average person. Solar power, for instance, is seen as the most sustainable green energy source on the planet. The energy from the sun can be used to pump water from wells as well as from underground water tanks and ponds. When you need solar pump system installation and repair, it is important you look for a qualified green energy company to help you out.

A sun-powered water pumping system consists of a solar panel, a battery pack and a DC-powered pumping unit. The photovoltaic panels convert sunlight to electrical energy, which can either power the system directly or indirectly by charging the battery. Once the battery is full, the pumping unit can be turned on at night or when needed.

Some of these units normally come ready to be installed. Others must be designed based on user requirements. Whatever the case, you should only work with experts.

There are a number of things that determine the size of the panels to be used to power the sun-powered pumping system. The first is the head. This is the difference in height between the water source and the tank/destination of the water. If the head is big, you will need a bigger panel. The same apples to the pumping unit. The amount of water that needs to be pumped per hour will also affect the size of the panel. The more the water you need to deliver in an hour the bigger the panel you will need.

This sun-powered unit can be used to deliver water to an overhead water tank in a farm for irrigation purposes. It can also be used to move water from an underground water tank to an overhead tank or to the plumbing system in a building. Whatever the case, these systems have a wide range of applications.

It does not make sense to continue pumping water at night. That is why the power system should be designed to meet all the water pumping needs of the user in a matter of hours. If the tanks are full, but there is still some sunlight, the energy stored in the batteries can be used to light the outdoors at night.

When looking for an installer or repair expert, the key factor to consider is experience. You want to work with someone who has been doing this for a long time. The ideal contractor should also be licensed to offer the service.

The reputation of a contractor and the rates they charge for the service also matter a lot. If you need financing, you should choose a firm offering affordable financing to all their clients regardless of their credit rating. After all, the cost of installation might be quite considerable, so you will most likely need financing. The terms and conditions of the financing agreement should be convenient for you.
