Keeping
all above in view, the solar water pumps can be installed
and used. The capacity calculation needs to be determined
on the basis of annual delivery capacity as sun is available
throughout the year to operate the pump. An appropriate storage
is to be prepared/utilized, which will keep storing the water
during off seasons. This approach will enable to select low
delivery pumps, which will deliver less on a daily basis but
meet the overall requirement on an annual basis.
It
also needs to analyze the distribution requirement. There
should be scattered pumping units with a relatively small
network of distribution streams with each unit. This will
also alive the un-utilized lands, which are waiting for supply
of irrigation water from canals or tube wells.
Clean
Power has a wide range of US and German products, which are
specially designed and configured for solar water pumping
application. With the guidelines presented in this paper,
the appropriate models can be selected from the catalogue.
