The adoption of sustainable technologies has grown in Brazil, and solar pumping has emerged as an efficient alternative for water supply in various applications.

The solution uses panels to directly power the water pumps, without the need for connection to the electrical grid. This technology allows continuous pumping during the day and, with reservoirs, obtains water during periods without sunlight.

In this scenario, companies like Intelbras have invested in the sector, bringing innovative and accessible models. Among the main differentials of solar water pump of the company include energy efficiency.

The product optimizes energy consumption for higher flow and head – without the need for a large number of modules – and is compatible with different photovoltaic system configurations, heights and flow, which allows scalability as needed. This means that the user can start with a smaller solution and expand as demand grows.

According to Antonio Neto, Segment Manager (off grid, sources and chargers for EVs) at Intelbras, another highlight is the reliability of the equipment, developed to operate in adverse conditions. “In addition, we have specialized technical support and a broad distribution network, ensuring ease of acquisition and installation.”

Choosing the ideal solar pump

The choice of solar pump, according to the executive, depends on some essential factors, such as:

  • Total manometric head (MCA): vertical distance between the water source and the destination point;
  • Required flow: volume of water to be pumped per hour or day;
  • Well depth or capture source: definition between submersible or surface models;
  • Type of application: use for irrigation, animal watering, residential or industrial supply;
  • Quantity and power of available solar panels: to ensure proper functioning of the pump.

“Intelbras has innovated and made it easier to choose solutions with the Intelbras Pumping Simulator. This allows you to choose which product best suits your needs,” he explained.

Adapting the solution to different applications

Intelbras equipment was designed to be versatile and meet different demands, from rural properties even isolated communities. In the agricultural sector, solar pumps are ideal for irrigating crops and providing water for animals, eliminating fuel costs and reducing dependence on the electricity grid. In remote areas, the technology guarantees continuous access to water for human consumption, promoting quality of life and water autonomy.

Expansion and accessibility of technology

According to Neto, Intelbras constantly invests in innovation and research to improve its solutions, making solar pumping more accessible and efficient. The company is focused on:

  • Portfolio expansion: development of new models to meet different customer profiles and applications;
  • Easy installation and maintenance: intuitive products and specialized technical support to train installers and resellers;
  • Strategic partnerships: Intelbras works together with distributors and integrators to expand access to technology in different regions;
  • Competitive commercial conditions: they seek to offer solutions with excellent cost-benefit, facilitating the adoption of solar pumping by different sectors.

“Our commitment to this technology is to contribute to reducing operating costs, eliminating dependence on fossil fuels and ensuring continued access to water for transparency, animal nutrition and human consumption,” he concluded.

Experience in installing solar pump

Professionals in the field interviewed by Canal Solar shared their experiences and assessed the impacts of Intelbras technology on the market. Rodrigo Claudino Silva, from Surveillance (CE), emphasized that, despite the initial difficulties, the experience was great. “I encountered difficulties due to the lack of qualified professionals to provide accurate information. It was a high investment, but the results were worth it.”

Clodoaldo Lopes, from Digeasy (CE), highlighted the quality of the products. “We had an excellent experience with Intelbras equipment, which stands out for its impeccable finish and efficient support.”

Furthermore, they reported that the technology has significant advantages. Rodrigo pointed out savings and sustainability as the main benefits. Clodoaldo added: “With the submersible pump, customers are satisfied with the efficiency of the equipment. We always manage to exceed their expectations.”

Growing demand for solar pumping

Although Rodrigo has noticed a slowdown due to the climate in the state of Ceará, he is optimistic about the future of the technology. “Those who are using it are very satisfied, and this is driving growth.”

Clodoaldo emphasized Digeasy’s pioneering role in the segment and the impact of the Intelbras brand on the market. “Intelbras’ recognition has driven new business. Furthermore, the popularization of solar pumping has been strengthened by satisfied customers and social networks,” he concluded.
