How a Solar Water Pump Works
A solar water pump is built to draw water from both deep and shallow water sources such as rivers, lakes, wells, and boreholes.
Solar pumps can operate while connected to the solar pumps directly to run on Direct Current. Battery cells are not necessary but may be essential to power other models of solar pumps.
The pump’s role is to supply water to a storage tank where it is supplied to the farm and distributed through drip or sprinkler irrigation systems.
