6 FAQs about [How to choose the flow rate of solar power generation system]
Does a solar pump have a higher flow rate?
However, do not always assume that a pump with more solar PV will have a higher flowrate, a lot of low-efficiency solar pumps pile on the PV to make up for the energy losses in the system, in this situation you end up paying more without a benefit. 6. Don’t be fooled by HP
How do I increase the flow rate of my water pump?
Increasing the amount of solar PV with your pump will increase the flowrate as more energy is available for pumping water.
How to calculate water flow rate based on process requirements?
1. Determine the flow rate based on the process requirements of water-using equipment For example, for landscape water use such as fountains, the flow rate can be calculated by filling the fountain pool 1 to 2 times per hour; for agricultural irrigation, the flow rate can be calculated by irrigating 1 to 2 times per day.
How much water does a solar pump need?
If you have not decided which crops you want to grow yet, a good estimate for average crop water requirement is 5mm. If you consider these factors when choosing your solar pump you will be able to find the correct solution and enjoy the benefits of free solar energy on your farm.
What is a pump flow rate?
First things first, the flowrate referred to by pump manufacturers will usually be the maximum flowrate for that pump. Often this means it will have been measured in optimal conditions – a low pumping head and in the strongest sunlight.
What does rated horsepower mean on a solar pump?
Much like the amount of solar PV, rated horsepower (HP) of pumps can be misleading. For a solar pump, if HP is stated, this usually refers to the maximum solar panel which can be used with the system. If the pump is inefficient and simply using more energy, it doesn’t always mean you’ll get more flow. Always check both HP and stated flowrates.
