Power scarcity and water needs often go together in many parts of rural and semi urban India.
Solar water pumping can be the answer to bridging this gap. It is one of the most useful applications of solar energy in a country like India with so much sun and water. There is also no need for a (costly) battery bank as water can be stored in tanks for use later.
Aurore has considerable experience in installing solar pumps. We have set up over 500 solar pumping systems in the Punjab and Haryana between 2000 and 2003 under a government subsidy programme.
Since then the quality of submersible solar pumps has increased exponentially, making them far more efficient and reliable. These are the ones that Aurore presently installs in rural and other places for drinking water provision and small scale farming. These solar pumps work very well in combination with drip-irrigation systems.
See our project section for more information about our solar pumping projects.
