Technical FAQs 4

How do I choose the right solar water pump size?

Discharge head is how high the water needs to go. Getting the TDH right is key to picking the right pump size. Think about how you plan to use the solar water pump. Consider the water source, where it will go, and any special needs you have. This helps pick the right pump capacity and power for your situation.

How do I choose a solar array for my water pump?

It should meet your water needs and work well with your solar power. How do I size the solar array for my water pump? Figure out how much power your pump needs, then pick the right number and size of solar panels. Consider the pump’s power, the total dynamic head, and your location’s sunlight.

How do I choose a solar pump?

Pump Efficiency: Find a pump that uses energy well. This means it will make the most of the sun’s power and waste less energy. Efficiency is measured in gallons per watt (GPW) or liters per watt (LPW). Solar System Compatibility: Make sure the solar pump fits with your solar power setup. Check the solar panel size, voltage, and other parts.

How much solar power does a water fountain need?

The higher the head, the more power you need. The Vecharged Rule of Thumb: For every 100 watts of solar panel, you can typically expect to pump around 1,000 gallons of water per day to a moderate height (e.g., 20-30 feet). Example for a Small 12V Fountain: A small 12V water fountain pump might only need a 20-watt solar panel.
