FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about mining with solar pumps.
Are solar pumps suitable for remote mining operations?
Yes. Solar pumps are a practical option for remote mining and exploration sites where mains electricity is limited or unavailable. They can provide water for storage tanks, site facilities and general water transfer while reducing reliance on fuel-powered equipment.
Can solar pumps operate with a generator?
Yes. Our Hybrid AC/DC solar pump kits can operate using solar panels or a compatible mains or generator supply. This provides flexibility for mining operations that require water outside peak sunlight hours or during periods of reduced solar power.
Can solar pumps transfer water over long distances or uphill?
Absolutely. Our solar pumps can transfer water over considerable distances and to elevated storage locations, provided the correct model is selected. The total vertical lift, pipe diameter, pipeline distance and required flow rate must all be considered when sizing the system.
Which Outback Solar Pump is best for mining applications?
The best pump depends on your water source and site requirements. Our Digger 1.5-140 is suited to deeper bore applications, offering up to 140 metres of head, while the Torrent CPM158 is ideal for higher-volume surface water transfer, delivering up to 132 L/min at low head.
