Solar water pump: an innovative work of photovoltaic technology
The solar water pump, a masterpiece of photovoltaic technology, has emerged in the 1980s but has only been widely popularized in recent years due to the significant drop in the price of photovoltaic modules. Nowadays, it has won the favor of many countries and organizations internationally. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP), and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) have all conducted international tenders for solar water pumps.
The core principle of a solar water pump, also known as a photovoltaic water pump, is to use an array of solar panels to efficiently convert solar energy into electrical energy, which then drives an electric motor to drive an energy-saving water pump to extract water from deep wells or water sources such as rivers, lakes, and ponds. This technology is widely used in various fields such as agricultural irrigation, domestic water supply, and desert control.
