55kW Solar Water Pump Inverter in Casablanca, Morocco

Project Introduction

The main driver of Morocco's economic growth in recent years has been the agricultural sector. The local government sector has also given high priority to investment in agricultural infrastructure development.

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 624kW solar array，55kW pump inverter and 45kw pump and provides 40m³/h water for irrigation.

Project Products:

Pump: 

Rated Power:  45kW
Rated Voltage: 380VAC 3 Phase
Rated Current: 90A
Rated Frequency: 50Hz
Rated RPM： 2850RPM

Solar Pump Controller:

Drive Brand /Model：VEICHI / SI23-T3-055G-A
Rated Power/Current: 55kw/110A
Rated Output: 380VAC 3 Phase
Input Voltage Range: 250VDC –780VDC

Solar Array:
