Solar Water Pumping System Installation in a water well. Robison Solar.

[sundogforlove]

is there a controller on this?

[markafuqua1]

@sundogforlove the only controlls needed to run our pumps are in the pumps themselves. An additional water level controller can be installed to maintain the water level in the storage tank yet shut the pump off when the tank get's full.

H - What kind of Horsepower is the BL40Q pump ? thnx

[markafuqua1]

@kdm7mms first I want to apologize for it taking so long for me to answer your question. I had not noticed it until recently. These pumps are not really rated in HP but if they were it would be about an 1/8-1/4 hp...they perform differently than most standard AC HP pumps in the fact that they run a smaller gallon per minute but do it all day long compared to most AC pumps which may kick on for a few minutes when needed and flow a higher gallon per minute. Thanks for your interest.

How deep is the water source?

[markafuqua1]

@BobbyWanKenobi11 This particular well is not very deep, around 40 ft. if I remember right. We have pumps that can pump from as deep as 600 ft. though. Check out our website for more details. solarpumps (dot) com

[swizzlecheeks]

Would this pump allow enough pressure to run irrigation? Sprinkler heads?

[markafuqua1]

@swizzlecheeks This particular pump produces about 4 gallons per minute maximum but does create 85 pounds of pressure. So, if you want to water a lawn or something it will do it with low volume high pressure sprinkler heads. My partner in this business has a system like this running now. You have to divide you area into zones and only water a peice at a time, but it does work. Very careful attention must be paid to freezing weather or back pressure against the pump. We have larger systems also

How much did this all cost?

[markafuqua1]

@edwardwills That system excluding the pipe for down hole and the pole to mount the panel on cost $1,770.00. You can view all information with pricing on all systems at our website. Thanks for your interest.

[edwardwills]

@markafuqua1 Thanks, I was looking for something to be off the grid with a pre existing well pump that is used in a home for showering and running water. Thanks

[nxn718]

hi what kind of solar panel do you have here ? and how much energy does the robinson pump require ? ?

[markafuqua1]

@nxn718 We are using a single 85 watt panel here. We also sell the Robison pump in a kit with two 85 watt panels. The energy consumption of the pump varies greatly depending on the depth that you are pumping from.

[InDaPlan]

please tell me, you got alot more water pressure, thats a huge panel and the pump was a fair size too.

[markafuqua1]

@InDaPlan The pump will build 85 pounds of pressure. With a single panel system like this, pumping from this depth it will produce about 2.5 gpm. We have systems that can pump as much as 70 gpm from this depth.

[swivelgate]

it's a great system I have been checking the net just wish I could afford it .I need a pump like this for my farm it's to far to run electric to where i need a well.

[markafuqua1]

[markafuqua1]

I am sorry I have tried to reply repeatedly over the last few weeks, it kept locking up on me. Not sure if it was the length of the post or that I was trying to put our web site address in there

[markafuqua1]

I had a rather lenghty reply and explanation before, but it won't seem to let me post my web address even now for some reason.

[markafuqua1]

This getting really frustrating, do they have some saftey device that won't let you comment the address of a web site??

[markafuqua1]

solarpumps (dot) com. except as I am sure you have guessed, use a . for the (dot) ;O) I can't figure out their reasoning for not letting the video owner not post his web address????
