Nkasi, Rukwa| Solar Water Pump

A 4kw submersible centrifugal solar water pump has been installed by Power Providers Tanzania to our client at Lake Tanganyika for the purpose of pumping water from the lake Tanganyika to three fish ponds/dams near the area. The installed pump has the power to pump water for a distance of 500m from the water source to the reservoir and has a flow rate of 26 m3/h which is equal to 26000 liters per hour. The total array size of the whole system is 6.6 KW.

Emmanuel International| Solar Water Pump

The installed 5.5kW ground mounted solar array produces 83m3 of water a day (in the  least sunny month of January) from a balancing and sump tank to a final delivery tank over 4 kilometers away. From there, water is distributed to several distribution points in the village of Lumpembe Lwasenga and overflow from the tanks goes to nearby farms.  It is a magical feeling to flick the switch on the pump controller and to see so much water appearing so far away.
