Abstract

Finding innovative ways of exploiting renewable energy sources to their fullest potential is already being considered as one of the utmost important research activities around the globe. This paper mainly focuses on the feasibility and economic analysis of solar water pumping systems in a remote village in India. Also, comparison of the same with conventional diesel-powered systems is carried out to study the pros and cons of both the systems. It is found from the analysis that the deployment of solar water pumping systems in an agriculture dependent nation like India has an upper hand in many aspects such as minimal environmental impacts, reduction of fossil fuel consumption, better profit margin etc. However, solar water pumping systems are still not treated as a viable option mainly because of the high upfront cost needed for the solar panels and pump. However, this can be easily negated via enhanced financial support schemes and incentives from the government. Considering all these factors, it is pertinent to deploy more of such projects on a larger scale all over the nation.

太阳能系统在农村应用的可行性和经济分析

寻找创新的方法来充分利用可再生能源的潜力，已经被认为是全球最重要的研究活动之一。本文主要对印度偏远村庄太阳能抽水系统的可行性和经济分析进行了研究。并与传统柴油动力系统进行了比较，研究了两种系统的优缺点。从分析中可以发现，在像印度这样依赖农业的国家部署太阳能水泵系统在许多方面都占上风，例如最小的环境影响，减少化石燃料消耗，更好的利润率等。然而，太阳能水泵系统仍然没有被视为一个可行的选择，主要是因为太阳能电池板和水泵需要高昂的前期成本。然而，这可以很容易地通过加强财政支持计划和政府的激励措施来抵消。考虑到所有这些因素，在全国范围内更大规模地部署更多这样的项目是恰当的。
