Solar water pumping continues to grow in Paraguay

meeco finalizes 2450 Wp remote solar water pumping project near Pirizal, Chaco

ZUG/ASUNCIÓN. The meeco Group subsidiary in Paraguay continues to grow with the achievement of a new sun2flow deep well pump installation, situated near the location of Pirizal in the Paraguayan Chaco, Department of Boquerón. This 2.450 Wp deep-well project has been recently installed at the beginning of April and its primary focus and objective is to pump water needed to provide the client's cattle with drinking water.


With over 4 hours distance, separating the site from the capital of Boquerón, Filadelfia, the sun2flow solar powered pumping solution solves a substantial and expensive whilst unreliable diesel dependence problem. In just one day and two weeks after the initial order, meeco América Latina S.A. has installed the 2,450 Wp sun2flow fixed system using 10 polycrystalline solar modules and a 40 meter depth centrifugal pump with a daily output of exceeding 40.000 Liters. Pirizal being situated 23 degrees south of the equator, the modules have been oriented north with an inclination of 22º and are expected to produce more than 4.000 kWh of usable electrical energy per year. By using a sun2flow solar powered water pump, the owner of the installation will save approximately 6.000 Liters of Diesel per year.

"In a country known for its hydroelectric power generation, The meeco Group has been steadily adding new sun2flow and sun2live solar projects, mostly off-grid and for agriculture as well as small isolated villages", says Dr. Oliver Jann, President of meeco América Latina S.A. "Paraguay has a considerable number of opportunities in the solar energy sector, both because energy is needed in far away places and because the country has ideal solar irradiation values. We are determined to pursue our goal to provide energy everywhere in Paraguay and Latin America" adds Dieter Trutschler, Sales Director of The meeco Group.

About The meeco Group: The meeco Group was consolidated in 2000 and oriented its main focus towards the energy sector.

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide - the ultimate solution for fast and easy installation of the rail-less RockIt racking system on composition shingle roofs. Smart Slide conforms to UL 441 and TAS 100 (A)-95 for wind and wind-driven rain, providing a super-strong watertight seal that is achieved through compression, in most cases without the need for additional sealant. The waterproofing sealant is embedded deep into the granules of the shingle, thanks to the integrated flexible foam layer that provides cushioning. This ensures a secure fit that conforms to any architectural-style shingle. With UltraGrip Technologyâ„¢, you can rely on a secure installation, as it absorbs the movement created by thermal expansion and contraction. The pre-installed sealing pads are compatible with all composition shingle roofs, making it the ideal choice, even in ambient temperatures as low as 5 degrees.
