 There are numerous ways to store water, ranging from simple open dug reservoirs, concrete and plastic tanks to expensive elevated metal tanks.
-'''Open reservoirs '''are inexpensive and relatively easy to construct, but the big disadvantages are the high evaporation losses of water and easy accumulation of debris and sediments as well as algae growth. These effects can be significantly reduced by covering the tank, e.g. with a plastic foil. Evaporation and algae growth can be reduced when the solar panels are installed on floating mounting structures.<br/>

 A reservoir can have several functions for an irrigation system: it can accumulate and store water pumped in over the day, it can provide pressure for the irrigation system to distribute the water to all corners of the field and, in small drip irrigation systems, it can be used to mix in soluble fertilizers. Since the output of solar pumps varies over the day as a result of irregular solar radiation, a reservoir can be useful to buffer the water amount available for irrigation.

 '''Elevated water tanks: '''This is the classic configuration of a Solar Powered Irrigation System. The pumped water is stored in an elevated water tank and irrigation functions by gravity. The elevated tank serves as a battery where energy is stored in the form of water. The irrigation system pressure depends on the height of the water level in the storage tank. It also allows for pre-sunrise irrigation. Ready-to-use plastic tanks are available in different sizes, easy to install and do not corrode as metal or cements reservoirs do.
 In order to secure a safe system operation, a water level sensor should be installed in the water tank that switches off the pump to avoid overflow. If a submersible pump is installed in a well, a second water level sensor is required to protect the pump from dry running. Such sensors are often integrated into the motor pump by default. As water tanks usually store huge amounts of water, it is important that the foundation and support structure of the water tank meets the static requirements.
