If
you ever need to supply water beyond the reach of power lines, the solution
lies in solar pumping systems. Solar water pumps are specially designed to
operate on DC electric power generated by photovoltaic modules.

Solar Force Piston Pump
Solar Force Piston Pumps (Surface Pumps) are designed for drawing
water from a shallow well, spring, river or tank. It can pump water uphill and over long
distances for home, village, irrigation or livestock uses. It can use power directly from
a photovoltaic array, or from storage batteries, to fill a storage tank or to pressurize
water.

Submersible Water Pumps
These
centrifugal pumps are specially designed for drawing water from deep wells. They operate
automatically during the daylight hours, pumping at a rate proportional to the available
sunlight. The pump controller matches the speed of the pump to the power output of the
photovoltaic array, maximizing water delivery under varying light conditions. This insures
early morning start-up and allows operation under low light levels, which increases the
volume of water pumped per day.
