Solar Dual Pumps are a type of solar water pumping system that uses two pumps in tandem to provide a consistent and reliable water supply. This is an innovative approach designed to utilize the power of the sun during the day and act as a normal hand pump when the solar energy is not available, hence assuring uninterrupted water supply.

The Pumping solution is designed to offer the rural areas water to use for domestic applications. One setup uses 700-800 WP (Watts Per Panel) of solar power to run 1 HP of submersible pump. At the depth of 20-70 meters it discharges 5000 to 8000 LPD (Litters Per Day). It also have automatic on/off mechanism to avoid water wastage once the tank is filled. The system is a retrofit solution to the existing hand pump already installed. Hence it will be a Dual pumping system where people can have water through hand pump at the absence of solar energy.

Applications:

• Community rural water supply.
• Public water supply for urban areas.
• Institutional water supply in remote areas.
• Emergency water supply for relief camps.

Advantages:

• Self-sustainable, independent water supply scheme.
• Time saver for women and family.
• Better health on account of low manual work.
• Improved personal hygiene and sanitation due to proper availability of water.
