N2  -  This study aimed to design, install, and evaluate a solar-powered DC water  pumping system for residential water supply applications. An off-grid system was  designed and built using a 455W solar photovoltaic panel, 24V lead-acid batteries, a  solar charge controller, and a 24V 230W DC water pump. The system was installed at  a residential site in Paratong, Paoay, Ilocos Norte to pump water from a well to a  200L storage tank. The performance of the system was evaluated over 10 days  through data logging of voltage, current, and water flow parameters. The solar pump  effectively filled the residential tank during daytime operation powered by the solar  panels, and the batteries allowed limited water pumping during non-sunlight hours.  The total cost of the system components and installation was approximately 40,500  Philippine pesos. Cost analysis estimated potential annual electricity savings of nearly  890 pesos by offsetting utility power needs, resulting in a payback period of over 6 13 years for the initial investment based solely on operating savings. While  technically viable, the long payback period suggests economic challenges for broad  residential adoption without incentives or subsidies. Overall, the study demonstrated  the feasibility of solar-powered DC water pumping for residential use but highlighted  opportunities to enhance cost-effectiveness
