A solar pumping system is made up of 4 key components.
1 Pumping system – This can be either a submersible pump (for boreholes/wells) or a surface pump (for shallow water sources).
2 Pumping inverter – Converts solar power (DC) into usable electricity (AC), whether single-phase or three-phase, depending on your pump size.
3 Solar panels – Capture sunlight and convert it into DC electricity. The larger the pump, the more panels you’ll need.
4 Electrical components – Includes DC & AC cables, breakers, and a DC combiner box to ensure safe and efficient operation.
