As indicated in the product name, this model is rated to deliver up to 26 m3/h (26 cubic meters per hour) under appropriate operating conditions. Actual flow will vary with system head and solar irradiance.
Yes. The DCMP26-15-72-1100 is designed for irrigation applications such as field irrigation, drip systems, orchard watering, greenhouse use, livestock watering and moving water from a well, pond or reservoir to the irrigation system.
The model string commonly encodes key parameters: '26' refers to the nominal flow (26 m3/h). '15' typically indicates a reference head (often ~15 m), '72' often denotes system voltage (72 V DC), and '1100' often approximates rated input power (~1100 W). You should confirm exact values on the official datasheet or with the supplier.
This is a DC solar water pump designed to operate from a PV array through an appropriate solar controller/MPPT. It is optimized to run directly off solar panels but can also work with batteries or through an inverter depending on system design.
A battery is optional. For daytime-only irrigation when sun is sufficient, the pump can run directly from the PV array with a proper MPPT controller. If you need pumping at night, during low-sun periods or want stable flow, add a battery storage system sized for the pump's energy consumption.
Array size depends on the pump's actual input power, local peak sun hours and system losses. As an example, if the pump requires about 1,100 W to operate at rated point and you have 5 peak sun hours, you would typically need roughly 1.4–1.8 kW of PV (to allow for controller losses and variance). Always calculate using the pump's exact power draw and local irradiance and consult the manufacturer for a recommended PV sizing.
Check the specific product package; some suppliers include an MPPT solar controller while others sell it separately. An MPPT controller is recommended because it maximizes energy harvest and stabilizes pump performance across varying irradiance.
Yes, the pump can be used with wells or ponds, but suction-lift capability depends on installation and pump configuration (surface pump vs submersible). Verify the maximum suction lift and priming requirements in the datasheet—for deep wells a submersible version or appropriate placement is usually required.
Flow and head are inversely related. The pump's flow is highest at low head and decreases as system head (vertical lift + friction losses) increases. Consult the pump performance curve (flow vs head) to find expected flow at your system head.
Solar irrigation pumps are typically built with corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel and engineered plastics for wetted parts. Verify the exact materials and suitability for saline or abrasive water with the supplier or datasheet.
Routine maintenance usually includes checking and cleaning filters/strainers, inspecting intake screens, verifying electrical connections and controller settings, and periodic inspection of seals and bearings. Frequency depends on water quality and usage—more frequent checks for sediment-laden sources.
Many solar pump systems include dry-run protection and electronic protections in the MPPT/controller to prevent motor damage. Confirm whether these protections are integrated or provided as optional accessories with this model.
Yes. When paired with proper pressure regulation (pressure tanks, pressure pumps or pressure controllers) and filtration (for drip systems), this pump can supply water for drip, micro-sprinklers or sprinkler irrigation. Ensure the system pressure and flow match irrigation requirements.
Start by defining required flow (m3/h) and total dynamic head (vertical lift + pipe friction). Compare those with the pump performance curve to ensure the model can deliver needed flow at your head. Also consider daily irrigation volume, solar resource, and whether you need storage/batteries. When in doubt, provide your site data to the supplier for sizing assistance.
