Epsivo Project Introduction

In Feb 2022, the Epsivo's EPV series solar pump system was successfully installed on a farm in Morocco.
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 20kW solar array，15kW pump inverter and 15kw pump and provides 15m3/h water for irrigation.

Project Products:

Pump:

Rated Power: 15kW

Rated Voltage: 380VAC 3 Phase

Rated Current: 32A

Rated Frequency: 50Hz

Rated RPM： 2920RPM

Solar Pump Controller:

Drive Brand /Model：Epsivo EPV300-4T15G
Rated Power/Current: 15kW/32A
Rated Output: 380VAC 3 Phase
Input Voltage Range: 250VDC –780VDC
Solar Array:

Solar Array：44Pcs
Total Power：20000W

Total Voc：720VDC

The Result:

The scope of the project included the supply and installation of the Epsivo's EPV series solar water pumping system, which can deliver 40 cubic meters per day at a water head of 80m. The water pumping system does not require batteries. The solar generator supplies the pumps during the day and can be switched to grid power at night if necessary to meet the 24-hour operation of the pumps.
