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.
