The Solar water pumps will be fitted in borewells or placed near large water bodies like lakes, rivers canals etc. There will be a network of storage tanks. The water drawn from the borewell will be initially stored in two large storage tanks of 5000 Litres Capacity each placed at a raised platform made of Steel Super Structure. From this tank water will be distributed to different smaller tanks of 1000 liters placed at various fields within the radius of about 5 acres. All the tanks will be inter-connected. 24 6.A – Irrigation Pumps will be on shared basis This will enable full utilization of each of the Solar water pumps, to draw water from the borewell for at least 8 hours a day from available sunshine hours. The Solar Water Pump will facilitate irrigation throughout the year. This will solve the issue of spending for diesel by those who have diesel pumps. 3 litres of diesel runs for about 5 hours only. The issue of electricity having been disconnected in households for non- payment and hence unable to run pumps or the erratic power supply and power cuts at some of the regions will be resolved and theft from overhead high tension lines that is very unsafe also. With the provision of network of storage tanks connected with pipes will solve the problem of bringing water right upto their crops. The input cost of the villagers goes down with the provision of Solar Water Pumps. The Pumps carry a warranty of 5 years and the Solar Panels carry a warranty of over 20 years. 25 6.B Power Generation on shared basis One time installation of off-grid Solar power generation. Where there are Transformers close by the excess Wherever Transformers power can be connected to the grid are close to the Solar and net metering meters installed. Panels Net metering This will be an additional source of meters will be fixed so income for the farmers.
