Project Overview

1. Configuration – Two-legged solar panel stand (tilted frame) supports 3 × 580W photovoltaic panels that drive a submersible 1.5hp stainless steel impeller pump for a borehole. The pump lifts water to fill a 5,000‑litre storage tank used for irrigation. 2. Security – The solar panels are fixed securely on the stand to prevent theft, often with anti‑theft brackets or anchored mounting. 3. Additional information – Proper hydraulic design is required to match the pump’s head (pressure) and flow rate with the elevation and distance between the borehole and the 5,000L tank, ensuring the tank fills within the available solar irradiance hours. Monitoring solar irradiance and using a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller can optimise pump performance( intelligent controller)  4.
