Project Overview
Site: A farm in the desert
Date: February 2019
Location: Quetta Province, Pakistan
Industry: Agricultural Irrigation, Fruit Tree Irrigation
Project scope: To develop a new series of solar pumps with the help of VEICHI solar pump drives
VEICHI deliveries: Solar PV module array, SI20 solar pump drive, a motor
Project Introduction
The main driver of Pakistan's economic growth in recent years has come from the agricultural sector. Local government departments also attach great importance to investment in agricultural infrastructure construction.
The challenge:
The problem of energy and water sources is one of the most important issues many countries are faced with. Around more than 30% agricultural pumps are not available to connect with grid electricity due to poor power facilities. And 50% farms cannot get well irrigated because of poor water conservancy infrastructure. Nowadays the cost of diesel is rapidly increasing，so the cost of maintenance on diesel generator pump system is very high. It is urgent and important to find a sustainable way for agricultural irrigation.
The solution:
Solar powered water pump technology is a very good solution to agricultural irrigation. The system consists of 1kW solar array，1.5kW pump inverter and 1kw pump and provides 2m³/h water for irrigation
