Solar pumps for agriculture

Why Solar Pumps ?

Each years thousands of farmers and agriculturists are adapting solar pumps for one or many of these reasons –

• Limited electric power supply – 4 to 6 hours per day.
• Erratic schedule – sometimes in the day, and sometimes in the night.
• New connections not readily available for those without a connection.
• High cost of irrigating a diesel pump.
• The challenges of operating a diesel pump – high maintenance and technical problems.
• Environment friendliness – A desire to shift to clean solar energy.
• To connect solar power to the drip irrigation system.
• For use in a polyhouse, shadehouse, or green house.
• Mix usage of the power generated – for farming and at the farm house.
• Benefits of subsidized rates being offered by the Government.
