Technical FAQs 4

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.

Do I need a DC water pump if I have a solar panel?

A 12v 10w solar panel will create DC power. You need a DC water pump if you want to run it directly from your solar panel. Also, there is chance your solar panel might create more than 12v power, in which your water pump will get damage in long run.

How do I connect a solar panel to a water pump?

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. I'm doing a similar set up with a 50w 12v panel and 5w 12v pump.

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.
