Maintenance and Performance of Solar Water Pump in a Rural Agricultural Community: A Case Study

Power is everything or everything is because of power (energy). IoT (Internet of things), RPA (Robotics Process Automation) and 3-D printing are the latest trends in the market regarding technology. This technology is nothing, if we will not provide sufficient power to it. Agriculture, along with its allied sectors, is India’s greatest source of employment. 70% of its rural households still rely mostly on agriculture for their livelihoods. They face the lots of irrigation and power loss problems. This research report evaluates the maintenance and work Capability of a solar based water pump in rural area of India. The intention of this study is to get the usefulness of maintenance practices and identify challenges in optimizing the working ability of solar based water pump system. This study examines overall performance of systems that meet the irrigation water needs of local communities. Data were collected through site observations, analysis of maintenance records, performance measurements, and interviews with stakeholders. The results provide valuable insight into maintenance practices, key performance indicators and challenges facing unique rural agricultural environment. Findings will have implications for promoting renewable energy solutions, sustainable agricultural practices, addressing water scarcity and supporting rural development.
