Introduction

Water is the most basic and essential elementin sustaining life. Uninterrupted supply ofwater upon demand (for household orcommunity water supply in urban or ruralareas, for irrigation, farming and cattle

watering), is the most basic of requirementsto ensure high quality of life. While thenational and state governments in India havetaken several steps in the past to address thisissue, lack of steady source of grid electricitycauses severe hardship to people despitehaving adequate water sources. Diesel pumpsets used to deliver water have several issuesincluding environmental and noise pollution,high operating and maintenance costs, and

the difficulty of getting diesel to the site.Harnessing the energy of the Sun to generateclean electricity (Solar Photo Voltaic or SPV)to drive pump sets for water supply addressesthe above mentioned environmental andpractical concerns. Surya Ganga SPV pumpsystem offered by Solar Semiconductorprovides a long term (over 25 years), reliablesolution to water supply issues.

The Surya Ganga SPV pump Systemadvantages:

No fuel cost and minimal operating andmaintenance costs:

o Since the fuel source is the sun, thereis an inexhaustible source of cleanenergy over the life of the SPV system

o High reliability as solar panels haveno moving parts and have a life of over25 years

Applicable for both retrofit pumps as wellas new applications

System can switch to grid electricity whensunlight is not available

Unmanned operation

Fixed or mobile system, Easy to install andscalable

Surya Ganga Performance

Solar Semiconductors Surya Ganga SPVpump systems are designed for reliable power

supply to drive pump sets for water in remoteand rural areas. This is ideally suited forlocations where grid electricity is either notavailable or not reliable. Surya Ganga iscompetitive and cheaper than diesel pumpsover its lifetime. This is due to the fact thatSPV system does not incur any fuel costs. O&Mand replacement costs are also minimal.

Choosing the right Surya Gangasystem

An appropriate system can be chosen basedon the daily water requirement and thevertical head (total height to which watermust be pumped from the source). Pleasesee the chart below.
