1. Solar water pumps can provide water in remote locations without access to power lines and are more economically and environmentally friendly than diesel pumps.
2. A solar water pump system uses photovoltaic panels to generate electricity to power an electric pump. The water is pumped into a storage tank for gravity feed.
3. While initial costs may be higher, solar pumps have lower long term costs than diesel pumps due to no fuel costs and require little maintenance. They provide environmental benefits by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
