LIFTING WATER FROM WELL USING SOLAR ENERGY GENERATOR

Water-lifting systems are used especially in rural areas to lift water from a well. The common device used in these rural areas is electrical pump. The electrical pump has taken a high cost due to the implementation of the transmission and also people need to pay for the monthly electric bills. Therefore, there is a need for improving water lifting using cheap solar energy generator. The main focus of this project is to construct a solar energy water lifting system that is clean, provide no pollution, simple and convenient. Step by step approach is applied in this engineering project so that the solutions are based on every single criterion that has been studied. The solar water pump consists of photovoltaic (PV) panel, power storage, charge controller, water level detector and DC submersible water pump. Studies in these fields are needed in order to make sure that the project is successful. The major part focused in this project is to design the overall system and make sure that the prototype of the system is working. Results of the simulation and experiments are included in the Result & Discussion chapter. The report contains five main chapters, namely Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Result and Discussion and Conclusion.
