This image showcases a solar-powered water pump installation at a SENA (National Training Service) facility in Guajira, Colombia. The system features a ground-mounted array of solar panels, likely angled to optimize sun exposure in the region. These panels convert sunlight into electricity, which powers a water pump (partially visible in the image). 

This sustainable setup provides a reliable and environmentally friendly water supply for the facility, reducing reliance on grid electricity or fossil fuels. The installation likely serves as a practical training tool for SENA students learning about renewable energy technologies and their applications in rural areas.

Which is better, storing power or storing water?

Storing water.

If you can store the water you have pumped up, that will act as your battery for cloudy days. Only in case the yield of your borehole is limited and you have a high water consumption which requires you to also pump at night, you should consider integrating a battery.
