Safe and sustainable water system is a growing concern in every part of the world. Lately, India has emerged as one of the forerunners in the implementation of solar energy, by using the solar irrigation system in India. Not much before, the farmers were at mercy of the Rain Gods to irrigate their fields. The erratic electricity supply coupled with no rains added to the misery of farmers. With the rise of solar water pumping system, the dependency on the conventional sources of energy is reduced, thereby providing a clean and environment-friendly solution in the long run.

Bigger benefits, Lower Costs

Small and marginalized farmers are primarily dependent upon conventional energy methods of irrigation, incurring high costs. The off-grid rural areas, that are under served of power supply are also dependent on costly fuel driven pumps. With solar water pumps, the farmers can get sufficient water to irrigate their fields, even during power outage and incur lower operational costs compared to a diesel generator.

Pumping a new lease of life

The solar water pumps are beneficial in many ways as it requires low maintenance and are easy to install. No fuel costs or spills. Ecozen has come up with a platform called the Ecozen Service Platform. While the company provides a complete package of the solar irrigation system, the added advantage is the service platform that helps the system integrators or the resellers to quickly raise their complaints over this platform. Service technicians spend a lot of time going to the fields and end up making multiple visits in order to resolve the issue. A farmer also runs the risk of losing his crop due to system failure. Ecozen understood this pain point and like their innovative solar water pumping systems, they also came up with ESP (Ecozen Service Platform). The integrators can remotely diagnose the problem in the pumps installed by them, which will help them to save time and money on sending technicians multiple times and due to minimum system downtime, the farmers will also be able to save their crops.

Smart Farming starts with Smart Controller

Here’s the rub to make your pump run better. A controller helps your pump to run better, for more hours in a day. It also protects your pump from voltage and current spikes.

Ecotron is a solar pump controller developed by Ecozen. It is a smart controller with a plug and pump design. An easy to install product that enables the user to connect DC supply and motor output externally, thus reducing internal failures. It also enables over the air update through which any firmware can be updated remotely.

Benefits of Solar Water Pumping System

The solar pumps are beneficial in many ways it requires low maintenance. It is easy to install. No fuel costs or spills, simple and reliable, it does not require much attention and the system can be made mobile. It also has some disadvantages these are high at initial costs, Lower output in cloudy weather however the advantages are more compared to the disadvantages hence the rapid growth is expected in near future.
