15kW Solar Water Pump Inverter in Suez, Egypt

Project Introduction

In March 2019, Veichi SI23-D5 series 15kW solar water pumping system was successfully installed in Egypt. 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 17kW solar array，15kW pump inverter and 11kw pump and provides 25m³ /h water for irrigation.

Project Products:

Pump:

Rated Power:  11kW
Rated Voltage: 380VAC 3 Phase
Rated Current: 26.2A
Rated Frequency: 50Hz
Rated RPM： 2920RPM

Solar Pump Controller:

Drive Brand /Model：VEICHI / SI23-D5-015G-A
Rated Power/Current: 15kw/32A
Rated Output: 380VAC 3 Phase
Input Voltage Range: 250VDC –780VDC

Solar Array:

Solar Array：57Pcs
Total Power：17385W
Total Voc：712VDC

The result:

The system pumps water from a well to irrigate farmland. It operates automatically and requires no manual monitoring or batteries. The total water head is about 50 meters and the average daily flow rate can reach 50 cubic meters.
