VIDEO: BUILD YOUR OWN SOLAR POWERED WATER PUMP!
The main difference between a normal and solar water pump is the impeller size. A water pump with small impeller is more efficient. In the video below you get to see some genius design a water pump which is the best project for your garden and auto irrigation systems. The video will also help as a guide to understanding the principles required to pump water using solar energy.
No special materials or tools are used in this project, so anybody can make it easily in the comfort of their own home. The same system can also be used for irrigation of Agricultural Land. The solar panel array can also be used without the water pump and can power your house or apartment.
The size of the pump is going to affect the amount of water that you are able to pump through the well on any given day.
You must acknowledge the point though that you are going to have to run a power cord to the main unit of the pump. However, using solar panels is going to save you a large amount of money.
