Solar Pumps
At Galileo Solar System, we offer efficient and sustainable solar pump systems designed to meet agricultural, industrial,
and domestic water pumping needs. Solar pumps use the power of the sun to operate, offering a clean, cost-effective, and
environmentally friendly solution for water lifting and irrigation. Here are the key components of our solar pump systems:
Key Components Used in Solar Pump Systems:
- Solar Panels (Photovoltaic Modules):
Solar panels are the heart of a solar pump system. These panels convert sunlight into DC (Direct Current) electricity. We use high-efficiency crystalline silicon panels, which are designed to deliver consistent power generation even in varied environmental conditions. The size and number of panels are customized based on the pump’s capacity and water requirement. - Pump:
The pump is responsible for lifting and distributing water. Submersible pumps or surface pumps are used
depending on the water source and application. Solar pumps are designed to operate efficiently, ensuring optimal water output with minimal energy consumption. They are built to withstand harsh conditions, offering durability and reliability. - Inverter/Controller:
The solar pump controller is a key component that converts DC power from the solar panels to the required power to operate the pump. It regulates the system’s voltage and current, ensuring safe operation of the pump
and protecting it from overloads or damage due to fluctuations in solar energy production. Some systems also have inverters that help in converting DC to AC when needed for specific pump operations. - Batteries:
For systems requiring energy storage, lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries are used to store excess solar energy generated during the day. This stored energy can be used during periods of low sunlight or at night, ensuring consistent water supply. - Mounting Structure:
The mounting structure securely holds the solar panels in place, positioning them for optimal sun exposure. It is made from corrosion-resistant materials such as galvanized steel or aluminium, designed to withstand varying weather conditions, and is adjustable to accommodate different terrains and roof types. - Pipes and Fittings:
Water pipes and fittings are essential for transferring the water from the pump to the required location. The materials used for pipes and fittings ensure that the system remains leak-free and durable over time, and are often made of high-grade PVC or steel. - Monitoring and Control Systems:
Advanced monitoring systems allow users to track the performance of the solar pump. These systems display real-time data on pump operation, solar energy generation, and water output, ensuring the system operates efficiently. Some systems include remote monitoring capabilities via mobile apps or web interfaces.
Indian Government Subsidy for Solar Pumps
The Indian government, through various schemes, promotes the use of solar-powered pumps to assist farmers and rural
areas in reducing reliance on conventional energy sources, improving irrigation efficiency, and achieving water
conservation. Here are the key subsidy programs:
- Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha Evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM):
The PM-KUSUM scheme aims to provide farmers with a subsidy for the installation of solar pumps, solar power plants, and grid-connected solar systems. The scheme is designed to increase the income of farmers and reduce their dependence on diesel and grid electricity for irrigation.- Subsidy Details:
- Solar Pumps: Farmers can receive up to 90% subsidy for off-grid solar pumps and up to 60% subsidy for grid-connected solar pumps.
- Target Group: Small and marginal farmers, and farmers from areas with inadequate electricity supply.
- Subsidy Details:
- State-Level Subsidies:
Various states also provide additional subsidies and incentives for the installation of solar pumps, based on local agricultural and energy needs. These subsidies vary by state and are provided through state-level agencies or energy departments. - Other Government Schemes and Financing:
- National Solar Mission (NSM): Under NSM, the government promotes solar power projects, including
the installation of solar pumps, through financial incentives and subsidies.
o Subsidized Financing: In addition to subsidies, farmers can access low-interest loans for solar pump installations under the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) schemes and other rural financing programs.
- National Solar Mission (NSM): Under NSM, the government promotes solar power projects, including
These government initiatives make solar pumps an affordable and sustainable option for Indian farmers, helping them
reduce electricity costs, improve irrigation efficiency, and ensure reliable access to water.
- Customized Solutions: We provide tailored solar pump systems designed to meet specific agricultural, industrial,
and residential water needs. - High-Quality Components: Our solar pumps use top-tier components, ensuring durability, high performance, and
longevity. - Government Subsidy Assistance: We assist in navigating the process of obtaining government subsidies, ensuring
a seamless and affordable solar pump installation. - Sustainability: By choosing solar pumps, you are investing in a sustainable energy solution that reduces
dependency on fossil fuels and contributes to environmental conservation.
