The mobile solar water pump

Abstract

This research aims to find the power of three sizes solar panels for suitable of solar water pumps as 360 watts, 350 watts and 350 watts. From the results of comparing the power of the panel. Show that, the highest solar power is type three (350 watts, 2 solar panels) as 800 watts. Because the electric power depends on the receiving area and the light intensity received by the panel. However, when the power input with the power output is calculated as the efficiency of the pump. Show that, the pump efficiency of the solar pump type one (with a 360 watts solar panel) is maximum efficiency as 4.3 percent. After that, the pump type one is compared the total efficiency of the pipe level water between at heights of 1.0 m. and 1.5 m. The result showed that, a height of 1.5 m. is the maximum total efficiency of the pump as 0.78 percent. The break-even period of this pump is 1 year and 7 months.
