SOLAR BOREHOLE PUMPS
A solar water pumping system uses solar energy to pump water, typically from a well, river, or pond, to a desired location. These systems convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels, which power an electric pump to move water for various applications such as irrigation, livestock watering, or providing potable water for communities.
Types of Solar Pumps
Submersible Pumps: Installed underwater and are suitable for deep wells.
Surface Pumps: Positioned above the water source and are ideal for shallow wells or surface water sources.
Centrifugal Pumps: Often used for large volumes of water with low to moderate head (height water needs to be lifted).
Positive Displacement Pumps: Suitable for applications requiring high head with low flow rates.
Applications
Agricultural Irrigation
Livestock Watering
Domestic Water Supply
Aquaculture

Apartment / Gated Community Borehole Solarization
Borehole solarization involves integrating solar panels with a pumping system to extract water from underground sources like wells or boreholes. Here’s how it works:
Solar Panels: Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electrical power.
Pump System: A solar-powered pump draws water from the borehole.
Energy Independence: By using solar energy, the system eliminates the need for grid electricity or fuel-powered generators.
Benefits of borehole solarization:
Cost-Effective: Reduces operational expenses compared to traditional methods.
Environmentally Friendly: Minimizes reliance on fossil fuels.
Reliable: Provides uninterrupted water supply even in remote areas.
Excess power produced can be channeled to power common lighting areas with the apartment or gated community
