Reliable Solar Water Pumping Solutions in Kenya
Being situated directly on the equator, Kenya experiences sunny, dry, and high temperatures most of the year; therefore, the fuel available in a limitless quantity without spending a penny is Solar Energy. Out of a population of 54 million, 15 million Kenyans lack sufficient access to safe water. As water availability has become a growing issue, people and communities are searching for means through which they can access groundwater easily and sustainably. Some parts of Kenya experience irregular supply of electricity or power shortages; therefore, the people need reliable and sustainable means of pumping systems that can assure continuous water supply.
The issue prevails specifically in remote areas where electricity and costly sources of water are unavailable to the dwellers. Understanding such situations and with a goal to serve all, Roto has designed innovative water pumping solutions in Kenya that are cost-effective, as the pumps run on solar energy and require minimal maintenance.
Solar Submersible Pumping Systems
Roto’s solar submersible pumping systems are designed to provide a holistic solution for all groundwater pumping needs and various situations, such as rising groundwater and flooded areas.
Our Water Pumping systems include various components, such as,
Our Water Pumping systems include various components, such as,
AC/DC Submersible Pumps
Our AC/DC submersible pumps are compatible with solar energy and run efficiently, eliminating the need for electricity 24/7. With a good power backup, our pumping systems can run on stored energy, which is solar energy converted into electrical energy.
DC Submersible Motors
Motors are like the heart of pumping systems because they pump energy into the water pumps to get the job done. Our motors are built on high-quality materials that can handle pressure efficiently. With 3 different variants, our DC motors have a long life and high performance.
Remote Controller
Our systems come with a solar controller with remote monitoring that helps the user operate the entire system from the pump to the motor. The controller works just like a human brain, signaling all the other components how to respond to the given command.
How do Solar Water Pumping Systems Work?
Solar water pumping systems work with solar energy taken from the sun. The solar pumps are engineered to convert heat energy into electrical energy, which then fuels the motors in the same way electricity does.
A solar water pumping system includes the following components:
Solar Panels
Solar Panels are the main component in the system, as they gather all the sun’s heat and later convert it into electricity.
Pump Motor
The motor helps give force to the pump to push water with much force to move seamlessly through pipelines.
Pipes
Pipes are the source of liquid transportation from one place to another. The ends of the pipes are attached to the pump and storage tank or tap.
Water Tank
A Water Tank is a storage house for water. It could be placed under the ground or above the ground to a certain height. This gives an advantage in storing water to be used when it is needed.
Controller
A controller controls and monitors the actions of the entire pumping system. It can also control the electricity supply and automatically cut the power supply to prevent damage to the system.
