Solar Pump: Solar Pumping
Size the solar array & pump for your well — no battery, no internet
About Solar Pump: Solar Pumping
Solar Pump sizes battery-less solar pumping systems (direct to tank), built for the field. Tell it how much water you need and the head, and it computes the solar array size and the pump class — no need to know panels or electricity.
WORKS OFFLINE
All the math is local. No signal, no data needed — use it at the well, on the farm, anywhere.
WHAT IT COMPUTES
• The solar array needed (Wp / kW)
• Suggested pump power in kW and HP
• Design flow and pipe velocity
• Total dynamic head (TDH) from your pipe and static head
• The suggested pump class for your duty point
• Daily system energy
SIZED FOR THE WORST MONTH
The system is sized on the peak sun hours of your region's lowest-radiation month, so it delivers water year-round — even in the cloudiest season.
ESTIMATE YOUR WATER DEMAND
Not sure of your m³/day? The app estimates it for you:
• Livestock: dairy and beef cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep and goats, and more
• Crops: by area and irrigation method (drip, sprinkler, furrow)
Or enter the daily volume directly.
21 COUNTRIES, 3 LANGUAGES
Available across all of Latin America plus Brazil, Australia and the United States — 21 countries, each with its region's real solar resource (NASA POWER, 20-year climatology). Switch between English, Spanish and Portuguese anytime.
ADVANCED SETTINGS
Fine-tune the pump-and-motor efficiency, array losses (derate) and well drawdown to match your case.
