BLDC type. The suction and delivery head will depend on the site specific
condition of the field.
 Submersible pumps could also be used according to the dynamic head of the site at
which the pump is to be used.
It is recommended that all parts of the pump and the motor of the submersible pumps should
be made of stainless steel.
- The manufacturers of pumps should self-certify that, the pump and all external parts of
motor used i submersible pump which are in contact with water, are of stainless steel.
The pumps used for solar application should have a 5 years warranty so it is essential that the
construction of the pump be made using parts which have a much higher durability and do
not need replacement or corrode for at least 5 years.
Remote Monitoring Arrangement
Provision for remote monitoring of the installed pumps must be made in the controllers
or the inverters either through an integral arrangement or through an externally fitted
arrangement. It should be possible to ascertain the daily water output, the power
generated by the PV array, the UP TIME of the pump during the year, Number of days
the pump was unused or under breakdown/repairs.
A sample depicted below is a typical log-book deployed for output data and performance of
