Solar Water Pump Sizing Calculator – 9to5 Equipment
Proper sizing gives you the “just right” fit. The solar pump calculator uses a set of inputs to make calculations: Daily water requirement – Enter how much water you need (liters or gallons).
Proper sizing gives you the “just right” fit. The solar pump calculator uses a set of inputs to make calculations: Daily water requirement – Enter how much water you need (liters or gallons).
Think about how much water you need, the pump''s capacity, and the size of the solar panels. Getting these right is key to picking the right pump for your needs.
To determine the power requirement of your pump, check the manufacturer''s specifications. These details are usually provided in the product manual
Choosing the right size pump depends on a variety of factors such as the desired water flow rate, head height (the distance the water needs to be lifted), and the available solar power.
Please note that the listed depths are the depth limits for each configuration, and if the pumping results are at the low end of your requirements, look to increase your solar panel configuration
Typically, a well pump consumes between 1,000 to 2,000 watts. For efficient operation, a solar panel system producing at least 4,000 watts (or 4 kW) is recommended,
A standard 1 HP (horsepower) water pump typically requires between 800 to 1200 watts of solar panels. This usually translates to three 400W panels or twelve 100W panels.
To determine the power requirement of your pump, check the manufacturer''s specifications. These details are usually provided in the product manual or on the pump''s label.
To run a water pump on solar, multiply the pump''s power by 1.5 to calculate the total solar panel wattage needed. For example, a 1000W pump requires at least 1500W of
