Introduction to Solar Water Pumping

Presented on Tuesday, November 29, 2011

Participants of this class will start by learning the basic components of a solar powered pumping system. Next, participants will learn how these components operate and how to troubleshoot them. Then we will extensively cover how to wire solar panels and controls. Attendees will also learn about the different types of solar panels on the market and how the quality of each affects the performance of the pumping system.
