🔧 How They Work
- Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity.
- This electricity powers a motor that drives the pump.
- The pump lifts or pushes water to the desired location.
- Some systems include a controller to regulate power and optimize performance.
🛠️ Main Components
- Solar Panels: Generate electricity from sunlight.
- Pump: Can be submersible (for deep wells) or surface (for shallow sources).
- Controller/Inverter: Regulates power flow; converts DC to AC if needed.
- Battery (optional): Stores energy for use during cloudy weather or nighttime.
- Water Storage Tank: Holds pumped water for later use.
