The Benefits of Solar Water Solutions for Agriculture
Solar-powered agriculture solutions for irrigation are becoming increasingly vital as farmers face challenges such as inconsistent rainfall and high costs associated with traditional irrigation methods. In India, approximately 80% of farmers own small plots and often rely on expensive diesel pumps or erratic electric supply. For example, many farmers spend around ₹8,000 to ₹10,000 monthly on diesel just to irrigate their fields. By utilizing solar water pumps and integrating solar water heating systems, farmers can access a reliable and cost-effective water source, enabling them to cultivate crops year-round without the financial burden of fuel costs.
