Solar water pump 12v cycle

How does a solar water pump work?

This work focuses on the design; fabrication and testing of water pump system powered by a solar photovoltaic (P.V) panel. Two 12V, 17AH battery was incorporated in the pump system to ensure storage and stability of power discharged. The system pumped water at an average of 30L/min within the hours of 1pm to 4pm at an hour interval.

How much power does a solar pump use?

The output power of the system between 14Watts to 49Watts conformed to the power calculated during the design, a pump efficiency ranging from 4% to 13%. The solar pump consumed a constant power of 0.373kWh. The results of the amount of water pumped in liters per minute at different heads are shown in the table 3 below:

Can a solar water pump run a pond?

However, because there are no outlets in the backyard, we would have to rely on a solar-powered DC pump and other inexpensive and readily available components. Utilizing a DC water pump to circulate the water inside the pond, thus increasing its oxygen level. Using only an 18V 20W solar cell and a 12V 5Ah battery as a power source.

Can a solar cell power a pump?

The solar cell does not have enough power for the pump. Another way to power the motor inside the pump is to use a battery. So we tried connecting it to a 12V 5Ah battery, and now the pump functions properly. We also add in another of the same batteries in parallel to increase the current they can supply by two times.

What is a solar pumping system?

Solar pumping system is an integration of different components which generates power from the sun and operates on direct current to drive water from a particular source over a distance to another location.

Can a solar booster pump run off solar power?

Pump Specifications: Features: This 12V DC Solar Booster pump is designed to run off solar power allowing you to move water from one site to another. Can be used in garden irrigation, vegetable patch and greenhouse irrigation, drainage, livestock watering, remote off grid homes.
