Guide to Solar Water Pump Sizing
Please note that the listed depths are the depth limits for each configuration, and if the pumping results are at the low end of your requirements, look to increase your solar panel configuration

DC solar water pumps are broadly categorized into two main types based on their installation method and the depth of the water source: submersible pumps and surface pumps.
For example, a high-performance solar water circulation pump may be about 200mm long, 120mm wide, and 100mm high, providing a higher head (such as 18 meters) and
So most people think with a solar water pump, that the maximum height is maybe 50-100ft. That might have been true back in the day. However, with today''s advanced water pumping
**A solar-powered water pump can raise water up to 200–300 meters, depending on pump design, total dynamic head (TDH), and solar power
Proper sizing gives you the “just right” fit. The solar pump calculator uses a set of inputs to make calculations: Daily water requirement – Enter how much water you need (liters or gallons).

On average, solar DC pumps can effectively transport water up to 30 meters in elevation and approximately 300 to 600 meters
The Vecharged Rule of Thumb: For every 100 watts of solar panel, you can typically expect to pump around 1,000 gallons of water per day to a moderate height (e.g., 20-30 feet).
**A solar-powered water pump can raise water up to 200–300 meters, depending on pump design, total dynamic head (TDH), and solar power capacity. Proper sizing ensures efficiency
Learn the 6 essential steps to designing a solar water pumping system. We cover calculating head, sizing solar panels, and selecting the right DC pump.
On average, solar DC pumps can effectively transport water up to 30 meters in elevation and approximately 300 to 600 meters horizontally under ideal conditions.
Variables such as the pump''s flow rate, panel wattage, pipe size, and vertical lift all play a role in calculating the maximum attainable height.
