This project implemented a high-capacity, automated solar water pumping system for agricultural irrigation in China, demonstrating a commitment to large-scale sustainable water management.

1. System Configuration:

The system was designed for robust, off-grid operation and high efficiency, featuring:

• Solar Array: A 24 kW photovoltaic system configured with 80 panels, each rated at 300 watts

• Water Pump: A high-power three-phase AC pump, operating at 380V with a power rating of 18 kW, suitable for deep well or high-volume water extraction.

• Solar Pump Inverter: A specialized solar pump inverter (model: SP4022) with a significant capacity of 122 kW. This unit converts DC from the solar panels to AC for the pump, incorporating Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology to optimize energy harvest from the solar array. Its high power rating ensures compatibility with the large pump and solar array.

• Automation: The system featured automatic start and stop functionality, likely based on water level sensors or time-based controllers, enabling unattended operation.

2. Impact and Advantages:

This large-scale installation provided a reliable irrigation solution, contributing to:

• Significant Energy and Cost Savings: By leveraging solar power, the system eliminated or drastically reduced reliance on grid electricity or diesel generators, leading to lower operational costs and a reduced carbon footprint.

• Operational Efficiency and Reliability: The use of a high-capacity solar pump inverter with MPPT ensured the system maximized water output per unit of solar energy.The automation feature minimized the need for manual intervention, reducing labor costs and ensuring consistent water delivery.

• Scalability and Sustainability: The system's design showcases a viable model for large-scale agricultural irrigation using renewable energy, supporting sustainable water management practices in China.
