In addition, it is recommended for the solar powered water system owner to consider procuring spares of the major equipment components at the time of the initial system commissioning, if future procurement of those items will be problematic.
However, it is important that the solar powered water system is designed to supply only the amount of water intended to be collected from the system. In this community, people will collect all their water used for drinking and cooking from the system.
The water source must be secured against any potential negative impacts on the quality of the water. This includes protection during construction of the solar powered water system, as well as measures to protect water quality in the future. Degradation in water quality could have possible negative effects on the pump and motor.
However, in many cases, surface water sources have also been utilized, as solar pump manufacturers have full lines of equipment to fit different surface water sources as well. When choosing a water source, it is critical to the quality of the water that any sewage disposal be a minimum distance of 30 meters from the source (from Sphere, 2018).
A high-quality solar powered water supply system will still fail to meet the needs of the end-users if the water quality renders the water unusable. In this case, the use of a water treatment method designed to make the water safe for human consumption is essential.
Also, it is not uncommon for governing entities to require newly constructed solar powered water systems to use only a percentage of the yield test amount. This is deemed an allowable or safe yield and is commonly held at 80% to 90% of the yield test results (though some entities require this to be held as low as 60%).

Solar photovoltaic (PV) power supply systems
PV cells are interconnected to form a PV module. The module is manufactured with the cells laminated between a transparent front sheet (usually glass) to allow sunlight to pass and a protective waterproof material on the back. A module is the smallest commercially available unit bought as a panel.

The Importance of Robust Waterproofing Structures | Demuda
**IP65 Waterproof Solar Panels**: At the basic level, IP65-rated solar panels can withstand water jets from a nozzle with a diameter of 6.3 millimeters at a distance of 3 meters under a pressure of 30kPa, expelling 12.5 liters per minute for 15 minutes. Such waterproofing is more than adequate for typical rain, snow, and low-pressure water sprays.
