Feasibility Study on Utilization of Solar Photo-Voltaic Energy for Irrigation Pumps on the Basis of Economical Aspects- A Review Paper

Pradeepkumar Biradar, M.K. Avinash, Shashidhar Kalashetty

Abstract


A Revolution is taking place in how water is being pumped in remote locations beyond the reach of electric power lines. Solar-electric or Photovoltaic, power has proven to be an ideal way to lift water for drinking, sanitation, stock tanks, and irrigation. Photovoltaic pumps have been on the market since 1980 and are in use all over the world.

There are many reasons why most people use solar panels not only it is a source of clean, cheap, and renewable energy for our homes. Using solar panels can influence the capacity of our home supplies. This method allows us to generate additional electricity which can be fed into our current power systems, which will have the effect of reducing consumption from the national grid, saving you money in the process.
