AC Solar Pumping System

power has entered a new global era. The world is shifting towards more sustainable energy solutions, and India is on the cusp of a solar revolution too. The energy consumption and power demand in India are at an all-time high. India is witnessing an ongoing shift towards renewable power as a clean energy source; the cost declines and affordability of solar energy and the power they produce are jolting the industry. India is a growing economy, the need for power consumption in every sector is only going to rise, so the adoption of solar energy is the ideal way forward.

The demand for power consumption in the agricultural sector is set to double over the next decade owing to rising irrigation demand for larger cropped areas, newer crop varieties, cultivating land, meeting rain shortfalls, and rising mechanization. With boundless potential, solar energy, if tapped wisely, can be the game-changer for the agricultural sector, saving precious water resources, reducing dependency on the grid electricity, and even becoming an additional revenue stream for farmers. Solar AC pumping system is one such remarkable alternative that enables farmers to become more efficient. With high utility and viability, it can be an advantageous resource to farmers. The system operates on a photo-voltaic technology to convert sunlight into electricity and works with two variants – submersible pumps and surface pumps.

Submersible pumps are meant to pump water from a maximum depth of 20 meters and are placed deep below the surface level. On the other hand, surface pumps can pump from the depths of 50 meters and are situated above the ground level. They use pipes to transport water. Solar AC pumping systems can be installed with a minimum of 3 325Wp modules for each variant. During installation, there are three components of the system: the pump, the controller, and BOS. The pump uses photovoltaic arrays designed to convert solar energy into electricity, which powers the pump motor that draws water from nearby sources like open wells, ponds, lakes and so on.

• Helps lower operating costs by using solar energy instead of fuels consumption like diesel or oil
• Its compact structure calls for extremely low maintenance costs
• Highly reliable as issues of erratic electricity like low voltage, power blackouts do not affect the water pump
• Solar water pumps are environmental friendly as it is not diesel or propane based
• It does not emit any harmful noises or gases
• Grid connected solar pumps allows farmers to further sell the extra energy for income
• Highly durable and has a really slow deterioration rate
