Solar Water Pump The solar water pumping system is a stand-alone system operating on power generated using solar PV (photovoltaic) system. From irrigation of fields to remote home or village water supply, solar water pumps are well suited and proven to meet water pumping needs, using solar energy.The solar water pumping system is a stand-alone system operating on power generated using solar PV (photovoltaic) system. The power generated by solar cells is used for operating a submersible pump for lifting water from bore/open well or water reservoir.
