Question

Explain how a solar cell panel is being used for running water pumps for irrigation.

Answer 1

Solar cell panel

1. A solar panel is a grouping of solar (or photovoltaic) cells that can be used to generate electricity via the photovoltaic effect.

Explanation

1. The system runs on energy generated by a solar PV (photovoltaic) system.
2. The photovoltaic array converts solar energy into electricity, which is then used to power the motor pump set.
3. The pumping system draws water from an open well, a bore well, a stream, a pond, a canal, and so on.
4. This water is then channelized into the crop field.
5. For the installation of the solar panel, the system requires a shadow-free area.
