Power cut is one of the biggest problem faced by farmers, therefore, they do not get sufficient power to run their pumps due to which their crops get dry and unhealthy.Solar water pumping system gives them the power to generate their own electricity to run pumps.
For farmers with a creek running through their properties, using a solar powered water pumping solution means less fouling of waterways and far less erosion of banks. It can also lead to better pasture management as livestock will be able to access water via multiple distribution points.
BENEFITS OF SOLAR WATER PUMPING SYSTEM:
- Solar water pumps are used for irrigation of crops, water livestock and provide portable drinking water.
- Solar water pump uses peak solar array output which frequently coincides with high water demand during long, dry summer days.
- In the event of cloudy weather solar water pump systems often use storage tanks to store excess water.
- Solar water pumps do not require fuel or constant maintenance.
- Solar water pumps can also be designed for portability to be moved based on water demand or change of season requires.
- Their operating cost is less compared to diesel pumps.
- Recent fuel price increases and generally intensive maintenance schedules, however, can make diesel pumps expensive.
