Solution
• This hydraulic energy translates into an electrical energy
requirement Ee
Rp is the moto-pump system efficiency,
can be assumed between 80-90% if not
provided. Otherwise from graph
S is the area of the array. Miscellaneous PV array losses λp and other power
conditioning losses λc. Assume λp and λc as 0.4 and 0.25 respectively. Ht is
solar radiation on tilted PV panel (Given). From Ee find the value of ‘S’
The array is characterised by its average efficiency, ηp, which is a function of
average module temperature Tc
ηr is the PV module efficiency at reference temperature
Tr (= 250C), and βp is the temperature coefficient for
module efficiency.

• Assuming Q=0.5 m3/hr i.e., 0.0083 m3/min or 2.19
gpm; from graph @30% pump efficiency supply
voltage required for pump is 15 V. [5 hrs average
sunshine hours at the location.]-can change.
• Assume No load current and load current as 4A
and 16 A respectively for pump, power
consumption for pump is 16*15=240 Watt
• Running hours per day is 5 hours.
• Total electrical energy required per day is
240*5=1200 Watt-hour/day
• Ampere-hour required per day = 16*5=90 Ah
• Estimated Ampere-hours required from PV
module = 90*(loss factor=3) [Assume]=270 A-h
Solution
• Total Ampere requirement from PV module
= A-h requirement from module / Total
no. of sunshine hours
