Solar Agriculture

Pumping water is a universal need around the world and the use of photovoltaic power is increasing for this application. PV powered pumping systems offer simplicity, reliability, and low maintenance for a broad range of applications between hand pumps and large generator driven irrigation pumps. The solar PV powered water-pumping system (DC Surface suction, DC floating, and DC or AC submersibles) can offer a veritable panacea to the problem of finding power to pump water for irrigation in India.

Typical pump systems in India are of the DC surface suction type (approximately 86% of solar pumping systems installed in India), DC submersible type (2%), DC floating type (2%), and AC submersible (10%). The system for solar pumping depends on the nature of the well: deep well, bore well, open well etc.

Regardless of the type of pump used, water is usually stored in a tank or reservoir for use at other times. Most pumping systems do not include batteries for on-demand water. However, batteries are sometimes used in systems where pumping time must be controlled because of low water demand or low source capacity.

Throughout history, farmers have harnessed the power of the sun to grow crops and feed for livestock. In recent years, an increasing number of farmers are looking to the sun again, only this time to provide energy to power their farming business.

The most recent renewable energy survey (from 2012), reported that 12,569 farms in the India are producing renewable energy. It’s clear that farms in the India are using solar to produce on-site renewable energy. Relying on improved technology and generous government subsidies, these farmers are reducing their monthly energy costs, while increasing the value of their farm.
