18kW Solar Water Pump Inverter in Fayum, Egypt

Project Introduction

In November 2021, VEICHI SI23 18kw solar pump system was successfully installed on a farm in Fayum province.

The challenge:

The problem of energy and water sources is one of the most important issues many countries are faced with. Around more than 30% agricultural pumps are not available to connect with grid electricity due to poor power facilities. And 50% farms cannot get well irrigated because of poor water conservancy infrastructure.  Nowadays the cost of diesel is rapidly increasing，so the cost of maintenance on diesel generator pump system is very high. It is urgent and important to find a sustainable way for agricultural irrigation.

The solution:

Solar powered water pump technology is a very good solution to agricultural irrigation. The system consists of  25.5kW solar array，18kw pump inverter  and 18kw pump and provides 40m³/h water for irrigation.
