Description<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pumps can be powered by renewable energy like wind and sun.<\/p>\n

Advantages compared to engine pumps<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • – No cost for Fuel<\/li>\n
  • – If combined with a Rope pump or\u00a0if it is a submersible pump model,\u00a0it can pump from wells deeper\u00a0\u00a0than 7 meters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Disadvantages compared to engine pumps<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • – Investment cost is higher<\/li>\n
    • – No pumping when there is no wind\u00a0or no sun<\/li>\n
    • – A wind pumps needs a storage\u00a0tank of at least 3 days of use<\/li>\n
    • – Wind pump is a new technology\u00a0and skills for production and\u00a0installation need to be further\u00a0developed<\/li>\n
    • – More complicated in use<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Submersible Solar Pumps<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      The SMART centre is testing also a Singflo submersible solar pump. This can pump up to 60 meters high<\/p>\n

      Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Solar pumps exist in many sizes. This catalogue focus on models below 1000US$<\/li>\n
      • The Solar and wind Rope pump now tested at the SMART Centre, pump from 20 meters<\/li>\n
      • Pump capacity of both models is 2 to 5 cubic meters per day<\/li>\n
      • Cost indication: Still in development.<\/li>\n
      • Producers. Info at SMART Centre \u00a0Tanzania and Malawi<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
