    4 Things to Note about Solar Water Pumps

    Are you thinking of buying a solar pump? With the many types of pumps currently in the market, settling on the best one for your needs can be overwhelming. You definitely need insights, especially on pump prices. Check out these four things that determine the prices in Kenya.

    The world is going green, and so is Kenya. The use of renewable energy is increasingly becoming the norm. It is no doubt that green energy is sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. When it comes to water pumps, solar power is gradually replacing electricity and fuel use. Many people are turning to solar pumps to supply water for domestic or agricultural purposes.

    What are Solar Pumps?

    These are pumps that use energy harnessed from the sun to pump water. Unlike other pumps powered by electricity or diesel, solar pumps run on solar energy. A solar water system will consist of an electric water pump, a pump controller, and a solar array. Ideally, the system uses photovoltaic solar panels to power the electric pump.

    Why Solar Pumps?

    The benefits are numerous. For starters, solar energy is renewable. Once the system is up, it keeps running as long as the sun shines. More so, the panels can last for up to 25 years, thus giving you a continuous supply of water without ever having to purchase pump fuel again.

    First, the initial installation cost is usually quite high. As previously indicated, a complete solar water system comprises an electric pump, a solar array, and a pump controller. It means that you have to budget for all three components, which can be quite costly. Again, depending on your specific power needs, the number of solar panels required for your system may vary, which could increase the cost or reduce it.

    Secondly, the pump price is calculated based on your water needs. For instance, if your needs are purely domestic, you are likely to get a much cheaper pump than a person who intends to pump water for irrigation. Usually, your daily water needs would guide you in selecting a pump with the perfect pumping rate and choosing a solar panel with enough capacity to power the pump. Thus, before heading to the shop, do your homework and know how much water you need.

    Thirdly, the cost is low in the long run. Yes, we did say that the initial installation cost is high; however, in comparison to other pumps, solar water pumps’ maintenance and running costs are quite low. You don’t need to keep buying additional fuel for the pump. Still, the solar panels last for a long time and rarely suffer breakdowns, and the system needs very little human resources to operate.

    Finally, the solar water pump price in kenya may vary based on the manufacturers. Don’t just settle on a pump based on the cost. Try to find out how the manufacturers score in other areas like pump quality, durability, and availability of technical support. As you will find out, some pumps may look very pocket friendly, yet they may fail to deliver quality work on the ground.

    To Wrap UpĀ 

    Green is the way to go, and solar pumps help us meet our needs yet stay green. Installation of these pumps can be quite costly. However, in the long run, it pays off. They are easy to maintain and run. Just be sure to do a background check on the pump manufacturer before purchasing one.
