Solar Irrigation
Survive the dry season in Oman with Solar Powered Irrigation Systems (SPIS). With high temperatures, the need for irrigating farmlands increases as well. With solar powered water pumps, farmers can irrigate their crops in the right amount and at the right time. The change to solar power means you can lower your operating costs.
How does Solar Powered Irrigation System work?
The use of solar energy is to generate power for the water pump to draw the water from either underground or from a surface tank.
The solar array absorbs energy from the sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. This electrical energy turns a motor and a flywheel which operates the piston which sucks water up and pushes water out. The main aspect related to the efficiency of a solar water pump is based on three variables including pressure, flow and input power to the pump.
The simplicity of this system means fewer moving parts and less maintenance which results in less downtime and expense for the farmer.
