Wind and Solar Powered Pumping Units

Renewable Energy Pumping Systems

Renewable energy pumping systems have become economic alternatives for many agricultural applications. Typically, this type of pumping system is used in locations removed from an electric power source. In these instances, the cost of the pumping system is often less than the cost of extending the power lines from the nearest source. In Canada, the most common agricultural applications of these systems are livestock watering and sub-surface drainage. Livestock watering generally consists of pumping from a dug-out or stream to a watering trough to eliminate contamination of the water source. These systems can also be used to pump to pastures for livestock use as part of a grazing management system. Sub-surface drainage is installed to lower water tables or intercept discharge areas such as sidehill saline seeps or seepage from irrigation canals. The drains gravity feed to a central sump which is then emptied with a pumping system. Both livestock watering and sub-surface drainage are typically low lift applications less than 20 ft (6 m).
