Solar Panel 80 watt

waterpump_panel.jpg

This solar water pumping system has been in service for over a year with zero maintenance. It supplies
water from a shallow spring to our house, and is sufficient for a family of 4, plus dogs, cats and plants. 
   Many principles of good system design were incorporated--the system has been a real time saver for
our family. Previously, we filled our cistern with garden hose and a gasoline-powered pump!

    System Specifications:                        Copy of Dan F's Solar Water Pumping System

  • Total Vertical Lift: 45 feet
  • Total Horizontal Distance: 480 feet
  • No batteries used!
  • Power Source: one 75 watt solar panel
  • Pump: 12 volt DC Shurflo pressure pump
  • Controller: Photowatt with limit switches and LCB
  • Float switches were installed at both the spring and the house cistern. This way, if the spring runs dry or the cistern is full, the controller will shut off the pump.
  • The controller's built-in Linear Current Booster (LCB) allows the pump to start up even on cloudy days. Without an LCB (solar panel hooked directly to pump)
    it would take full sun to start.
  • All pipe is buried 4 feet deep. We added 2 extra runs of pipe so we can switch over if one run freezes.
  • The pump is always under forward pressure, since it is in a valley below the spring. If the pump ever runs dry (due to feed pipe rupture or float switch failure at the spring),
    an air bleed valve was installed at the output side of the pump. Otherwise, air bubbles will make the pump cavitate and not work. This process was required upon initial
    pump installation, too.
  • We added + and - lugs at the top of the "manhole" where the pump and controller are located. This way, if we are without sun for a few days, I can drive my truck down
    there and hook up jumper cables from the truck battery to fill the cistern.
