Tag: Solar water pumping in Uganda

Weis Engineering Ltd is one of the leading solar water pumping companies in Uganda that offers solar water pumping solutions for irrigation, livestock, industrial and home use. We import solar equipment including solar water pumps, solar panels, solar controllers to mention.

Solar water pumps and solar panels of different capacities are available.

We do solar water pumping systems designs, installations, repairs, and maintenance.

Water pumping systems are sized to your needs according to water source type (Surface or underground(depth)), required production(volume of water required per unit time for example per day), application, and estimated daily hours of sunlight. Our systems feature solar surface pumps or solar submersible pumps that can be installed in well casings as small as 3 inches

Solar water pumps are a cost-effective and depe

ndable method for providing water in situations where water resources are spread over long distances; power lines are few or non-existent, or fuel and maintenance costs are considerable.

They are designed to accept DC power directly from the solar modules and are optimized for operating under less-than-ideal sun conditions. Where conventional AC-powered pumps require a stable voltage and frequency to operate, solar pumps can operate over a wide range of voltage and available current.

Conventional AC-powered pumps require large amounts of power to move large volumes of water in a short period of time. Solar pumps typically move a smaller volume of water over an extended period of time. This method requires far less power, which minimizes the size and cost of the PV array.

Solar water pumping

Solar Pumps can be used to pump water for drinking for both Livestock and human, reliably wherever it is needed, cooking and sanitation in and around a home. Gardens can be irrigated without the need for grid power or cost of running generators and swimming pools can be kept clean in a cost-effective and sustainable way.
