Discover the capabilities and limits of solar pumps in this detailed guide, exploring how high they can push water and what factors influence their performance.
Solar water pump head is generally refers to the maximum vertical height between the dynamic water level to the water pipe outlet, It is the deep well pump head. Simply
The perfect solar pump is the right match for your water needs, lift height, cost, and efficiency. By carefully comparing your options and requirements, you can make a smart
The head height capacity of a solar deep well pump refers to the maximum vertical distance that the pump can lift water from the well to the point of use. It is typically measured in meters or feet.
Solar water pump head is generally refers to the maximum vertical height between the dynamic water level to the water pipe outlet, It
When water fails to reach the required height, farms dry, households struggle, and projects fail—solar-powered water pumps solve this
When researching how high a solar pump can lift water, you must first calculate what we call Total Dynamic Head. Pumping head is the maximum height that a pump can move fluid against
The vertical columns represent the various depths in feet, and the horizontal rows reflect the various solar panel configurations available for that pump. The resulting data provides the
Please note that the listed depths are the depth limits for each configuration, and if the pumping results are at the low end of your requirements, look to increase your solar panel configuration
When water fails to reach the required height, farms dry, households struggle, and projects fail—solar-powered water pumps solve this effectively. **A solar-powered water pump can
The Vecharged Rule of Thumb: For every 100 watts of solar panel, you can typically expect to pump around 1,000 gallons of water per day to a moderate height (e.g., 20-30 feet).

Solar water pump head is generally refers to the maximum vertical height between the dynamic water level to the water pipe outlet, It is the deep well pump head. Simply understood, it is the height at which the pump is able to lift water, usually expressed as “H” in meter.
Figure 1. Typical layout for a solar powered water pump system. Quantity of water required (e.g. 100 animals @ 10 gallons/day = 1000 gallons/day). Maximum feet of lift required from water well to trough or tank (e.g. trough elev. 100 ft – water surface elev. 40 ft = 60 ft of lift).
The higher the head, the more power you need. The Vecharged Rule of Thumb: For every 100 watts of solar panel, you can typically expect to pump around 1,000 gallons of water per day to a moderate height (e.g., 20-30 feet). Example for a Small 12V Fountain: A small 12V water fountain pump might only need a 20-watt solar panel.
The maximum head equals 183 ft + 10% to accommodate friction loss. Apply a head of 200 ft as the pressure the pump will need to produce. A solar pump must be selected from a manufacturer that can generate 200 feet of vertical lift at a rate of 5 gpm.
