The diagram illustrates the process by which a solar-powered water pump supplies water from an underground well to village.
Overall, the system uses solar energy to generate electricity, which powers a bore pump. The pump draws water from an underground source and transfers it to a storage tank, from where it is distributed to the village. The process relies entirely on renewable energy and does not require a conventional electricity supply.
The process is begins with sunlight being captured by photovoltaic cells installed on a solar panel above ground level. Thses cells convert solar energy into direct current (DC) electricity. The generated power is then transmitted through cables to a bore pump located inside an underground borehole or well. The pump is positioned below the water level to enable efficient extraction of groundwater.
Once activated by the DC power from the solar panel, the bore pump forces water upward through pipe from the underground well. The extracted water is then transported into a water tank situated at a ground level. Compared with the underground bore, the storage tank is located on the surface and serves as a collection point for the pumped water. Finally, water flows from the nearby village for domestic use. Thus, solar energy is converted into electrical energy and subsequently into mechanical energy to provide a reliable water supply.
