Abstract

The purpose of this research is to design a clean water distribution system by utilizing solar energy as an energy source to drive DC pumps in the village of Saibi Samukop which is located in the Mentawai Islands with minimal development including the construction of clean water facilities for community needs. In this design, 2 solar panels with 100 Wp are used to charge 2 batteries as power storage. The pump specifications used have a maximum power of 180 Watts with a head of 15 meters and a voltage of 12 Volts. From the results of the design then carried out testing, the pump head 8.1 operating for 6.4 hours/day with a power requirement of 100.5 watts and an electric current of 53.6 Ah. The pump is capable of distributing water to the Pangasaat hamlet community in the range of 100.50 liters/per day. Keywords: DC Pump, Solar Panel, Water Distribution System
