SOLAR AGRICULTURAL PUMPING SYSTEM

        SOLAR  AGRICULTURAL  PUMPING SYSTEM

                                   SYNOPSIS

 

 

Energy plays an important role in the material, social and cultural life of man kind.  The energy needs are increasing day by day.  This is the result of population growth and increase in the standard of living which is directly proportional to energy consumption.

 

The lifting of water for drinking or irrigation purposes is of great importance in widely distributed villages with little or no rural electrification and where under ground water is available.  Solar energy is converted to mechanical energy to drive small water pumps it would be of great help to the rural inhibitions.

In our project we use solar photo voltaic cells for pumping water.  The photo voltaic modules convert sunlight direct to electricity which is used to run a dc motor pump for bailing of water.  It consists of solar photo voltaic modules, power conditioner to protect storage batteries from over charging during non-sun shine and a dc water pump.
