This technical seminar discusses using solar power for water pumping applications. It introduces photovoltaic cells and how they convert sunlight into electricity with no moving parts. It then describes how solar panels can be used to directly power water pumps or charge batteries to power pumps. The document outlines the components of a solar water pumping system and discusses their advantages of being reliable, low-maintenance and producing water during sunny periods. It also notes some disadvantages like high upfront costs and decreased output during cloudy weather.

Introduction to Photovoltaic Solar (photovoltaic or PV) modules produce DC electricity directly from sunlight with no moving parts. Solar modules have been around for over 50 years and in mass production since 1979. The reliability of PV is such that 20 to 25 year power warranties are typical, with life expectancies beyond 30 years. EI200117103 MANOJ KUMAR SAHU Solar Powered Water Pumping

Solar pumps are very cost-effective for remote applications (where utility interconnect costs more than $5000). Off-grid homes and cabins • Livestock watering: pond and stream protection, rotational grazing, remote pasturing • Aquaculture: aeration, circulation, and de- icing. • Irrigation: best for small scale applications

There are 2 ways of using solar power to pump water: 1. Directly connecting the solar panel to the pump, or 2. Charging a battery with the solar panel, and then using the battery to run the pump. • Both of these systems have drawbacks: 1. If the pump is directly powered by the solar panel, then water can only be pumped when the sun is shining. 2. Charging the battery first, and then using that to run the pump is less efficient, plus two batteries would be needed so that one could be charging while the other runs the pump, making the system more expensive.

Advantage Reliable and long life Produces water during sunny weather when it’s needed most Low labor and maintenance costs No fuel costs Easy to remove, transport, and store Non-polluting EI200117103 MANOJ KUMAR SAHU Disadvantage Potentially high initial system cost Decreased water production in cloudy weather Water storage and/ or battery needed for providing full time water Must have good sun exposure between 9 am and 3 pm EI200117103 MANOJ KUMAR SAHU Conclusion Solar energy is there where you need it. You do not need to truck it to your pasture. When the sun is shining brightly, making the cattle more thirsty, the PV system is also pumping more water for them. When it is overcast and rainy, the PV system will not pump as much water, but the cattle will not need as much drinking water during cloudy weather. Therefore, using solar generated electricity to pump water for livestock can be cost-effective and reliable.But the system needed a lot to be developed & widely accepted.
