How to maintain solar water pumps to extend their service life?
With the widespread application of solar water pumps in agricultural irrigation, livestock water and household water, its energy-saving and environmentally friendly advantages have won wide popularity among consumers. However, many users ignore daily maintenance during use, resulting in decreased performance and shortened life of solar equipment. As a professional supplier in the field of solar water pumps, GenSolar provides you with the following suggestions to help you significantly extend the service life of the equipment and reduce the overall operation and maintenance costs.
- Clean solar panels regularly
Solar panels are the "power source" of the water pump system. The accumulation of dust, leaves or bird droppings will significantly reduce the power generation efficiency. Recommendation: Clean the panel surface with a soft cloth or sponge every 1-2 weeks, and avoid scratching with hard objects; in areas with more sand and dust, the cleaning frequency can be increased; check whether the panel surface is cracked or damaged, and contact the supplier in time for repair.
- Protection of electrical components
The controller is the "brain" of the system and needs to be moisture-proof, high-temperature-proof, and avoid direct exposure to rain. Check whether the cable is aging
or bitten by animals to ensure good insulation.
- Professional inspection and after-sales support
It is recommended that a technician conduct a comprehensive inspection once a year, including parameters such as motor performance and photovoltaic system voltage. Choose original accessories provided by regular suppliers to avoid compatibility issues.
- Storage during long-term outage
If the equipment is seasonally out of use (such as winter): disconnect the power supply, clean and store in a dry and ventilated place. Add lubricating oil to moving parts such as water pump bearings to prevent rust.
