Affordable Solar Pump System Installation And Repair

By Paul Long


The sun is the ultimate power source. The amount of energy produced by this renewable natural resource is immense. In fact, it may be enough to meet all the energy needs of the planet, including powering industrial equipment. However, there are no solar panels that are powerful enough to meet these needs. When you need a solar pump installed on your property, you should take your time to search for the most competent installer. Please note that it will take some time to find the best solar pump system installation and repair service. This is because there are many service providers out there.

A pumping unit that is powered by energy from the sun must have a photovoltaic panel. This is the unit that will generate electrical energy to power the pumping unit. There must also be a DC motor in the pumping unit. A battery is also necessary as it will store energy to power the pumping unit at night, when there is no sunlight.

Installing a sun-powered pump is not a job for amateurs. The panels must be installed on the rooftop and the pumping unit submersed into the water source (in case of a submersible unit). Wiring and plumbing are then done to ensure the pumping unit delivers water to the tank or any other place.

The cost of installing these solar-powered pumping systems is not that high. After all, a DC submersible pumping unit only costs a few hundred dollars. The same applies to the panels. The total cost is within the reach of the average consumer. However, you should take your time to compare the rates quoted by different firms to identify the most affordable installer.

As alternative energy continues to become more and more popular, the number of installers is also increasing. To find the best installer for your needs, you have to read a couple of reviews as well as testimonials to get as much information as possible about the installer. This is what will enable you to make the decision.

If your pumping unit has developed a problem, or the panels are not working as they should, it is important you call a competent electrician to come and offer effective repairs. Whether the problem is minor or major, a competent electrician is able to resolve it. That said, you need to ask all the electricians you come across to give you a quote, which you can compare.

The experience of an installer must be checked and compared with the experience of other service providers. This is because you want to hire the most experienced installers. After all, they are known to offer high quality services. Whether you need installation or repairs, you should consider potential service providers based on the number of units they have installed as well as the number of years they have been in the industry.

Only licensed installers should be considered. By shortlisting licensed service providers, you will be able to avoid hiring quacks. The ideal installer should also be in a position to provide you with a payment plan as this will make it easier for you to pay for the installation. In case you need financing, the ideal installer should quote the lowest rates of interest and require no down payment to approve your application.
