                                            The system operates on power generated using solar PV (photovoltaic) system. The photovoltaic array converts the solar energy into electricity, which is used for running the motor pump set. The pumping system draws 
                                            water from the open well, bore well, stream, pond, canal etc.

                                                Solar water pumping systems can be a practical and affordable solution used to provide reliable and cost effective water supplies where there is no grid power or where power supply is unreliable.

                                            Because solar systems only operate during daylight hours the water pumped out is typically stored in a storage tank for use 24 hours per day, to ensure constant availability of water. The tank capacity should be designed to allow for rainy or cloudy days (no sun days) when pumping will be limited. The size and dimensions of the storage tank is determined based on the required number of day’s storage. If large storage tanks are impractical, back up batteries or a generator can also be incorporated in the design to allow for prolonged periods of no 
                                            sun days that will eventually empty the water storage tank.

                                            Pumping can be by submersible pumps, commonly used for deeper wells, where surface pumps cannot be used because the water level is too deep below ground level (below approximately 6 meters depth). These borehole pumps are specially designed to have a small outside diameter so they can be suspended below the water level in the well and connected to an output pipe that extends up to the surface. The right pump for each application will depend on the requir
                                            ed pumping rates and pumping height and distance.

                                            Alternatively, surface pumps are used to move water from sources such as shallow wells, ponds, streams, and tanks, where the pump itself can be located no more than 6 meters above the water level. There are many types of pump available; the choice will depend on how much water per day needs to be moved and the height and distance to the delivery point (such as the storage tank). Pump efficiency and reliability can be
                                             improved if suction lift can be minimized to just a few meters.

                                            Getting the most benefit from solar water pumping systems requires research and design before the first PV module and a pump is purchased and installed. Each component must be carefully matched, and proper planning is essential – so the final system will be efficient and reliable and can function for many years to come.

Solar Water Pumping System

Solar water heating (SWH) is the conversion of sunlight into heat for water heating using a solar thermal collector. A variety of configurations are available at varying cost to provide solutions in different conditions.

A sun-facing collector heats a working fluid that passes into a storage system for later use.
SWH are active (pumped) and passive (convection/gravity-driven).
They use water only, or both water and a working fluid.
They operate independently or as hybrids with electric or gas heaters.

SOLAR WATER HEATER SYSTEM

An off-grid system is not connected to the electricity grid and therefore requires battery storage. An off-grid solar system must be designed appropriately so that it will generate enough power throughout the year and have enough battery capacity to meet the home’s requirements, even in the depths of winter when there is less sunlight.

The high cost of batteries and inverters means off-grid systems are much more expensive than on-grid systems and so are usually only needed in more remote areas that are far from the electricity grid.
However battery costs a re reducing rapidly, so there is now a growing market for off-grid solar battery systems even in cities and towns.

OFF-GRID SOLAR SYSTEM

Modern hybrid systems combine solar and battery storage in one and are now available in many different forms and configurations.

Due to the decreasing cost of battery storage, systems that are already connected to the electricity grid can start taking advantage of battery storage as well.
This means being able to store solar energy that is generated during the day and using it at night.
When the stored energy is depleted, the grid is there as a back-up, allowing consumers to have the best of both worlds.
Hybrid systems are also able to charge the batteries using cheap off-peak electricity (usually after midnight to 6am).

HYBRID SOLAR PV SYSTEM

On-grid or grid-tie solar systems are by far the most common and widely used by homes and businesses. These systems do not need batteries and use common solar inverters and are connected to the public electricity grid. Any excess solar power that you generate is exported to the electricity grid and you usually get paid a feed-in-tariff (FiT) or credits for the energy you export.

Unlike hybrid systems, on-grid solar systems are not able to function or generate electricity during a blackout due to safety reasons.
Since blackouts usually occur when the electricity grid is damaged; If the solar inverter was still feeding electricity into a damaged grid it would risk the safety of the people repairing the fault/s in the network.
Most hybrid solar systems with battery storage are able to automatically isolate from the grid (known as islanding) and continue to supply some power during a blackout.
