7.5kW Solar Water Pump Inverter in Morocco

Project Introduction

In May 2022, the SI23 series 7.5kW solar water pumping system was successfully installed in a village in Morocco. The project was invested by the local government for irrigating farmland.

The Challenge:

The problem of energy and water sources is one of the most important issues many countries are faced with. Around more than 30% agricultural pumps are not available to connect with grid electricity due to poor power facilities. And 50% farms cannot get well irrigated because of poor water conservancy infrastructure. Nowadays the cost of diesel is rapidly increasing，so the cost of maintenance on diesel generator pump system is very high. It is urgent and important to find a sustainable way for agricultural irrigation.

The Solution:

Solar powered water pump technology is a very good solution to agricultural irrigation. The system consists of 12kW solar array，7.5kW pump inverter and 7.5kw pump and provides  20m³/h  water for irrigation.

Project Products:

Pump:

Rated Power: 17kW
Rated Voltage: 380VAC 3 Phase
Rated Current: 17A
Rated Frequency: 50Hz
Rated RPM： 2920RPM 

Solar Pump Controller:

Drive Brand /Model：VEICHI / SI23-D5-7R5G-A
Rated Power/Current: 7.5kW/17A
Rated Output: 380VAC 3 Phase
Input Voltage Range: 250VDC –780VDC

Solar Array:

Solar Array：24Pcs
Total Power：12000W；
Total Voc：735VDC

The Result:

It is powered by solar power. It operates automatically and requires no manual monitoring or batteries. It saves electricity and fuel costs compared to pumping water through municipal electricity or diesel generation in the past. In addition, solar power is green, non-polluting and low-noise.
