Hello everyone,
I'm helping to build a drip irrigation system for mango trees garden in Cambodia.
There is no electricity in that area and the only water source is a large pond.
The land size is 7 hectare. I want to automate the irrigation process by connecting the solar pump directly to the drip irrigation system.
Also, i'm planning to use solenoid valves to split the territory into 3 areas.
I made some calculation and what I need is 5 m3 water pump working from 1750W solar panels. I need this pump to work 4-5 hours a day.
My biggest concern is a cloudy days. Does someone have an experience using a solar water pump on large territory?
Is it going to work fine or I still should use batteries?
Thanks in advance.
