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.

What is a solar water pump sizing calculator?

The Solar Water Pump Sizing Calculator is an essential tool for individuals who rely on solar power to pump water. By providing the required input data, users can accurately calculate the minimum solar panel wattage and battery capacity required to meet their water pumping needs.

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.

How much solar power does an AC pump need?

Here’s some estimates on solar power for an AC pump – this varies depending on what kind of system you get but its a start! For a 1/2 horsepower pump, you’ll need about eight solar panels or 800 watts of power.
