Q: Why Should I use a solar water pump?A: There are many reasons as to why you should use a solar water pump. For starters, it has lower recurring/maintenance costs. Once installed, a solar pump doesn’t need electricity or gas in order to run. This saves you on the cost of fuel and electricity. E-mail: wbs.au..........comTel/WhatsApp: +86 16605743599

Q: Does solar pump work during cloudy/foggy days?A: The pump uses solar power to run the motor, so cloudy/foggy days can impact the normal operation of a solar water pump unless it’s hooked to a hybrid power supply. Additionally, we anticipate cloudy/foggy days that’s why we include a tank(s) in the design of a solar water system for your project. The tank acts as a “battery” of sorts as it stores...

Q: Should The Solar Panels Of A Solar Power System Be Cleaned?A: As long as the solar panels are mounted with a pitch of 10-15 degrees, most of the dirt should be washed off by the rain. When the solar modules are particularly dirty, and no rain is expected due to a dry season, it can be smart to clean the solar panels though. Cleaning the solar panels should be done with a soft cloth (to protect ...

The pump stops working automatically when there is no water in the well, and automatically start working 30 minutes later. E-mail: wbs.au..........comTel/WhatsApp: +86 16605743599

Q: Do your solar pumps have to a controller?A: A controller acts like the transmission in a vehicle. It lowers the voltage and raises the current to run the pump, however slowly, in low-light conditions-like shifting to low gear. The controller also protects the motor from overload and over-speed and provides low-power float switch control. Controllers will increase system performance approximate...

Q: What is a submersible Vs Surface solar water pump?A: The difference between these two types of pumps is in the names (among many other things). A submersible water pump is one that needs to be underwater at all times to function. These are best used in boreholes and wells. They tend to be more expensive to install and maintain. On the other hand, a surface solar water pump is one that stays abo...

Q: how do i ensure that i also have water when the sun does not shine?A: Normally, a storage tank is integrated in the design of a solar water pumping system. The storage tank acts as a “battery”. When the sun shines, the tank is filled up, when it is cloudy or dark, water can be used from the tank which is placed at a high point. It is also possible to include a battery in a solar water pumping s...

Q: Do I have to connect the water level probes?A: The most important probes are for the well. This will prevent damage to the motor when the water level in the well drops. The tank probes can be used if needed but is not critical. When the motor runs dry this will cause damage to the screw as well as the bearings and seals on the motor.
