Technical FAQs 4

How much solar power does a water pump need?

First, you need to know the pump’s power requirement, which is typically measured in watts (W). Divide the pump’s wattage by the average peak sunlight hours your location receives daily. For example, if your pump requires 1500W and you get 5 sunlight hours per day, you would need at least a 300W solar panel.

Can a solar panel power a water pump?

Also, there is chance your solar panel might create more than 12v power, in which your water pump will get damage in long run. To avoid this situation, you can simply connect DC buck converter between your solar panel and water pump which will help to supply only upto 12v power to your water pump.

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

The power requirement of your water pump is one of the most critical factors in determining the type of solar panel you need. The power requirement is usually measured in watts (W) and depends on factors such as: Pump Capacity: The amount of water you need to pump per day. Head Height: The vertical distance the water needs to be lifted.

Can a 12V pump run on a solar panel?

Buy a small, low power 12V pump. Connect it straight to the panel. It'll run most of the time when the sun is shining. It probably will work just fine like JRE says. But there could be a slight chance that the panel will over-volt the motor if the motor does not need the whole 10 Watts. @jigneshsorathiya that one won't work, it's for AC power.
