The action proposed to the City Council of Villar de los Navarros consists of the installation of photovoltaic solar panels capable of creating electricity.

More specifically, the works to be carried out consist of the installation of 60 photovoltaic panels of 236 watts/panel, with an installed capacity of 14,2 Kw/h, that cover about 100 m2 of photovoltaic surface as well as an annual theoretical production of 34.400 Kw, of which only 20.000 Kw (58%) is used to propel water.

The submerged pump that propels water from the well to the municipal tanks holds 10 Kw of nominal power. In principle, the photovoltaic field needs to create peak energy above the nominal power of the pump to start the pump up. However, this issue was solved by using a frequency converter that starts the pump up at 8 Kw energy and therefore uses, more sunlight hours.
