The PV module array should be positioned ideally on an East-West axis at 15  from the 
horizontal  facing  North  in  the  Southern  hemisphere  and  South  in  the  Northern 
hemisphere. It is essential that modules are fully exposed to direct sunlight as any shading 
will greatly reduce performance. 

PV modules are light and simple to fix, frame mounting being recommended. This can be 
sited either on a roof or on a ground structure. Frames are available on request. 

2.2 PUMP INSTALLATION

For borehole installations it is important to ensure adequate 
water  availability  as  damage  can  occur  in  the  event  of  dry 
running.  This  should  be  checked  from  the  Driller's  report  if 
available or by careful testing during commissioning.

WARNING

Pumps  can  be  installed  in  wells  or  boreholes  and  should  be  provided  with  fittings  as 
indicated in Fig1. Piping options are Dayliff PVC for deep wells, galvanized steel or HDPE. 
The latter is recommended for shallower wells due to simplified lowering. When installing 
the pump ensure to fit the safety rope which can be used to lower the pump down. The rope 
should be secured at the well head.

When lowering, it is recommended that the drop cable, electrode cable (if fitted) and rope 
are secured to the drop pipe by the tape provided and are not left loose.

Ÿ

A wide range of pump models are available and the pump selected must be matched 
to the well/borehole output to provide optimal operating performance. This should 
be done with reference to the borehole drillers report in consultation with a borehole 
installation specialist where applicable. As a rule pump output should not exceed 
65% of maximum tested borehole yield.

Ÿ

Minimum Borehole Diameter 3”pumps-84mm, 4” pumps-110mm.

Ÿ

Maximum Pump Immersion Depth SunFlo-S- 30m, SunFlo-A/B - 20m.

Ÿ

Pumped liquid should be clean, thin and non-explosive containing no solid particles 
or fibres. Sand content should not exceed 50gm/m or else pump life will be reduced 
and any warranties will be invalidated .

0

Ÿ

Liquid temperature should not exceed 40 C in order to preserve rubber components. 

Ÿ

Pumps can be installed either vertically or at an angle, though if installed at an angle 

0

the discharge outlet should never fall below 10  to the horizontal plane as shown in 
Fig. 2. For all angled installations a flow sleeve should be used with a minimum of 
0.5m water depth above the pump to prevent the formation of a vortex.

2.1  MODULE POSITIONING

When positioning the PV Modules avoid all shade .
