3. About the project
 Owing to India’s tremendous growth in economy, the energy sector has been
having a hard time in catching up with the demands of the nation.
 The demand for power in 2007-08 was 46,339 mu as against availability of
40,121 mu, in 2008-09 it was 47,124 mu as against 42,199 mu and in 2009-10
the demand was 51,019 mu as against the availability of 44,549 mu. (The Hindu * )
 This is where the green technology is proving its Alma-mater today. Installing
independent solar energy driven pumps in houses can serve as an effective
solution to the problem of power crisis.
 The objective of the project is to deliver a working prototype of the system. The
system should harness solar energy to generate power [Electrically or
mechanically] to run a pump. This is a pilot project; hence the user bandwidth
should be very small.
 The product will be priced against the existing solar electrical pumping
installations. Typically a fraction of the existing system.

5. Need Analysis
 For the execution of the project a detailed need analysis
must be done in the following areas:
 Water consumption, patterns and issues related to the target environment
 Issues related to pumping water in domestic environment
 Usage patterns of the consumer
 Need for alternative technology viz current systems
 Alterations required to current systems t accommodate new technology
 Feasibility of new system
 The system is targeted at independent houses, typically of
the likes of row house, bungalows, duplex buildings etc; with
a typical range if 15-20mts in height.

6. How much WATER we need ?
Domestic use of water
 Domestic uses of water include the consumption of water for
drinking, washing, bath, cooking, toilets, livestock etc.
 The domestic average use per capita per day is 70 – 380
liters per capita per day
 Factors affecting the use of water
 Location
 Climate
 Time of the day
 Day of the week or month

7. How much WATER we need ?
In-house
❖ Per capita usage is 166 L/person/day, which was not significantly different from that of single
residential households.
❖ Bath and shower were the main water users in-house.
❖ Average component usages for in-house use per household were:

8. What is available solar energy through the day?
 Insolation is a measure of solar radiation energy received on a given
surface area in a given time.
 Ignoring clouds, the average insolation for the Earth is approximately 250 watts per
square meter (6 (kW·h/m2)/day), taking into account the lower radiation intensity in
early morning and evening, and its near-absence at night.
 Rajasthan, Gujarat, west Madhya Pradesh and north Maharashtra receive more
than 3000 to 3200 hours of bright sunshine in a year. Over 2600 to 2800 hours of
bright sunshine are available over the rest of the country, except Kerala, the north-
eastern states, and Jammu and Kashmir where they are appreciably lower.
 In a sense, bright sunlight is available for a duration of 6-
7hrs on daily basis.

10. What is the pumping height ?
• In each residential zoning district, no building or other structure shall exceed the
following building height above finished average grade. (For 2 Storey building)
Average Building Height
Above Finished Average Grade
35 feet ~ 10m
Source – PDF ‘KARNATAKA State construction guidelines‘
Hence, target range of head for pumping – 15-20m

11. Average cost for solar panel installation
 For Large (Government) Projects
 The primary reason for the high cost of solar power is the high capital cost.
 About 50% of this cost is owing to the cost of the panels and the rest are for balance of systems.
 Coal-based and natural gas-based power cost anywhere between Rs 2 and 3 per KWh; wind-based
power costs slightly more – around Rs 3.5-4. Solar-based power currently costs over Rs 15 per KWh –
this is for solar PV. Solar thermal costs about 2 rupees less per kWh.
 For Domestic Purpose
 1000 watt installation will need 70-100 sq ft of usable space.
 On an average cost of Photovoltaic cells is around Rs 250 per watt.
 battery backup and/or multi source system which will increase costs- Rs200.00 -300.00 per watt.
 The system once installed will have a life of 25-40 years.
 Battery will need maintenance and replacement lets say every 5 years and inverter may last 20 years
but is warranted for 10 years so at least plan for 1 replacement in the middle of system’s useful life.
 GOI pays Rs 90.00 per watt as subsidy through MNRE
