The document provides information about calculating solar water pumping system requirements based on site-specific parameters.

The depth to water level, vertical distance to storage tank, horizontal distance to tank, and size of pipe are needed to calculate the TDH.

Factors like hours of sunlight, water demand, and system configuration (fixed or tracking solar array) will influence daily water delivery.

Solar Water Pumping Calculator

By answering a few short questions about your pumping requirements, the calculator will
present approximate figures and recommendations and give you an idea of the budget
needed for the job.
Rebates are available for some solar pumping systems, and details on eligibility can be
found here. GreenerEnergy.ca is able to assist you with a rebate application and, if
eligible, will incorporate the rebate value into the quote.
