We are looking for a Solar Energy based solution for agricultural water pumping.
Our scenario and requirements are as under:
Water Table depth is between 300 to 400 feet. Sunlight is available all year round. In summers the average day time temperature is about 50 C . In winters the night time lowest temperature is upto -3 C . There is no snowfall in our area in past 100 years history.
Currently we already have electricity run tubewells, some having Centrifugal pumps, whereas soe have turbines , both kinds coupled with electric run motors , with average capacity of 25 HP.
The water output pipe diameter is 6 inches.
Does your company have any solution for us:
a. Existing pumps to run on solar energey based motors.
b. OR we need to change the pumps as well motors.
c. Apart from motor and/or pump costs, whats cost of battery pannels, so that the same could be operated at night as well.
d. In summers, we have season for cultivating rice. You may be aware of large water requirement by rice crop. Therefore for 5 months ( from April to August ) our pumps are running for 20 hours at a stretch.
Please advise.
