Screw pumps are already an efficient pumping solution known for their reliability and low maintenance. Powering them with solar energy takes it a step further for sustainable operations.
How Do Solar Screw Pumps Work?
Solar screw pumps integrate photovoltaic panels and a solar charge controller with standard screw pump systems. The solar panels convert sunlight into DC electric power to run the pump motor and controller.
Solar energy is stored in attached batteries to provide backup during low or no sunshine conditions. The system can also be hybridized through connection to the grid or diesel generator.
Benefits of Solar-Powered Screw Pumps
- Reduce or eliminate dependence on conventional power sources leading to substantial cost savings.
- Offer a sustainable and eco-friendly pumping solution with reduced carbon footprint.
- Provide access to pumping in remote off-grid locations without available electrical infrastructure.
- Require minimum maintenance without any fuel requirements.
- Offer modular and scalable systems to match pumping needs.
- Provide reliable operation with energy storage for pumping during overcast days.
Applications of Solar Screw Pumps
Solar screw pumps are ideal for:
- Water supply for irrigation, livestock, homes and villages
- Sewage and wastewater treatment
- Food and beverage processing
- Solar farm circulation
- Chemical transfer
- Powering reverse osmosis systems
With global solar power adoption accelerating, solar screw pumps present an effective green energy solution for various fluid transfer applications. Their practically makes them a smart choice for sustainable operations.
