Solar Powered Water Systems: Technical & training updates
Measures to select good quality solar panels
The reliability of solarized water services is put to jeopardy when solar panels are of low quality or damaged. The solar team has put together a list of measures to ensure selection of good quality panels and avoid the use of counterfeit or damaged ones. Please click here to access a TECHNICAL BRIEF & VIDEO
Using Lithium Ion batteries and panels for water pumping
Testing of Lithium Ion batteries coupled to solar panels to power pumps was carried out. The use of these batteries could soon represent a viable alternative to generators in hybrid systems. Find conclusions of our first test in these two research articles
