This thesis presents the design the water pumping system powered by photovoltaics (PV) solar. The purpose of this study is to design, sizing the batteries and the PV modules to power up the submersible pump for three hours operating per day for 2 days autonomy. This project required some calculation from SANDIA National Laboratories. Basically, the system based on the standalone system configuration. The project consists of 4 main parts. The parts are the PV module, DC pump set, charge controller, and the battery storage. This project also have the mechanical parts which is the tanks and the host pipe. This project also involved the study about the characteristic of charging battery and solar irradiance. The DC load also already administered without the backup supply and take able the solar irradiance level that can make the pump run.
