Solar Pump Sizing: Check Pipe Losses Before Adding PV Panels
Before increasing the PV array, check whether the pipeline is making the pump work harder than necessary.
Before increasing the PV array, check whether the pipeline is making the pump work harder than necessary.
A larger PV array may extend useful pumping hours, but the right configuration depends on water demand, head and the selected inverter.
Learn the difference between static head, dynamic head and pumping water level. Calculate TDH correctly and select the right solar water pump.
How a solar pump inverter with an optional flow meter, pressure sensor and 4G/WiFi remote monitoring turns a solar water pumping system into a measurable, controllable and remotely manageable water solution.
