I need a realy good low volume solar water pump system. This is for a hand dug well.?
Question: This pump will have to lift water about 40 feet into a storage tank and cut off when it is full. The well is only 25 feet rapt with 20 feet of head water and the well is 5 feet by 5 feet open. The pump also needs protection if well runs dry. Thank you for any help.
Answer: To boost useful amounts of water this much requires a lot of energy, and if you want to control it by photo-voltaic it will take a large and expensive array.
A comprehensible float switch will turn the pump off if it runs dry.
why solar power?
