Is site selection and sizing necessary for a solar PV water pumping system?

Despite their implementation in various locations, there is currently no established methodology for optimal site selection and sizing. To address this gap, this study thoroughly investigates and analyzes the design and deployment steps of a solar PV water pumping system, including site selection and sizing of the components.

What size water pipe should a solar water pumping system use?

The designer should initially use pipe that is the same size as the inlets and outlets. The designer then undertakes the frictional loss calculations for that size of water pipes using the known maximum water flow for that solar water pumping system.

What type of water pipe is used for solar water pumping?

Water pipe can be supplied as metal pipes, PVC pipes (hard plastic pipes) or polyethylene pipes (commonly known as poly pipe). Because if its flexibility poly pipe is often used with solar water pumping systems as the suction pipe for a surface pump and for the pipe within a borehole for the borehole pump.

What are the components of a solar water pumping system?

A solar water pumping system consists of three major components: the solar array, pump controller and electric water pump (motor and pump) as shown in Figure 1. Note: Motor and pump are typically directly connected by one shaft and viewed as one unit, however occasionally belts or gears may be used to interconnect the two shafts.

What data should be included in a solar water pump design?

The specific data would be the size of the inlet and outlet that the water pipe would be connected to. Figure 14 a, b and c shows key dimensions of the three water pumps shown in Figure 13 and used in the solar water pumping systems used in Table 7. The designer should initially use pipe that is the same size as the inlets and outlets.

What is the difference between PV pump aggregate & solar array racking system?

PV Pump Aggregate: Another way to refer to a pump and motor combination. a single unit. Solar Array Racking System: Structural system designed and constructed to support the solar array per the design conditions. a maximum of approximately 1,000 Watts per meter squared (W/m2) reaches the earth’s surface).
