Solar Pivot Irrigation System:
It is a system in which is a pump running on electricity generated by solar panels as opposed to grid electricity or diesel run water pumps. The operation of solar pivot irrigation system is more economical mainly due to the lower operation and maintenance costs and has less environmental impact than pumps powered by an internal combustion engine. Solar pivot irrigation systems are useful where grid electricity is unavailable and alternative sources do not provide sufficient energy. Solar pivot irrigation system converts solar energy directly into AC power. The power produced is feed into A.C pump that pump water into sprinklers through pivot.
Benefits of Solar Pivot Irrigation System:
Placing the solar array at the center of the pivot takes care of cleaning the PV modules, resulting in even higher efficiency of the system and less operating costs for maintenance.
Solar water pumping systems require no fuel. This removes the energy bill plus the time and cost of filling fuel tanks and having costly fuel deliveries to remote areas. Also, cuts of subsidies are no longer an issue.
Solar pump systems have few moving parts which makes maintenance unnecessary and gives them a long life. These elements give this solution a good return on investment and a best quality/price ratio in comparison to conventional pumping systems, especially for systems in remote areas.
Solar energy is a clean and inexhaustible energy source. Solar provides a long term reliable supply of energy without producing any emissions. Use of solar energy preserves the environment and has no impact on human health.
Adjusting the pivot’s speed and, if used, the fertilizer pumps’ performance to the flow of water allows precise irrigation and fertilization of the irrigation area, all on solar power only.
Solar Water Pumping System:
ECHO Solar water pumping system is a stand-alone system for, residential, commercial irrigation and wildlife watering systems and water supply for remote homes and commercial buildings.
