Solar based Irrigation systems- A promising avenue for sustainable, cost effective and transformative technology

Solar PV is paving the way for smoother transition to Clean Energy and due to its huge potential around the world. By 2030 the world is all set to deploy more Solar PV's and may prove to be a catalyst for achieving NetZero goals by 2050.

As water scarcity and climate change continue to pose significant change continue to pose significant challenges to agriculture, innovative solutions like solar irrigation through Solar Powered water pumps and Regenerative Land Management Practices for example Soil conservation through Crop rotation, Cover cropping, Agrivoltaics when combined with installations of Solar Power Plants, helps to improve the overall natural ability of soil and vegetation to sequester Carbon goals by 2050.

Diagram below shows a Solar Powered Water Pump by OORJAgram India at Gauriphanta, Indo Nepal Border

Calculation: I KW of Solar Power Plant offsets around 0.73 Tons of Carbon Emissions.

Inference: The overall Carbon footprint from a ground mounted Solar Panel is twelve times less than Natural gas and twenty times less than Coal. So now we know why the transition from Fossil fuels to Green Energy is required. Hence pumping solutions are essential in ensuring food security and sustainability.

Agrivoltaics-A Climate Smart technology

Deployment of the Agrivoltaics Technology Integrating artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Technologies can be a path breaking and revolutionary approach to Sustainable Agricultural Practices coupled with Solar Photovoltaics. Solar Powered Technologies is indeed creating a path for smoother Transition to Clean Energy Adoption and Deployment. Showcasing two revolutionary and Climate Smart Technology Agrivoltaics ' and Solar Water Pumping Solutions together in the picture presentation below". With the grassroot intervention the overall empowerment and access to infrastructure becomes viable especially women.

For economies with Agriculture as the backbone, these two very sustainable, Clean and Green technologies not only brings in enhanced Productivity, Climate resilience but also supports health and parallel support income, Dependency on Fossil fuels is less, Sunlight comes for free to be harnessed and proves to be an eye opener on how smartly and efficiently land use is possible under Agrivoltaics.

Rather than using traditional Linear programming algorithms, AI and ML can provide deep customised correlations and patterns that may be innovative and dimensional to interpret, analyse and identify them. The same can be used in the operational and planning phases of Agrivoltaic systems which the traditional methods of Analysing data like Linear Programming may not be that efficient.

With AI and ML we can gain valuable insights into system performance, leading to data-driven decisions for enhanced efficiency and productivity. While Agrivoltaics projects are implemented placement of Structure, Orientation & Tilt angle and spaces in between the structures that provide appropriate shading to crops growing beneath the panels and under shade because of the micro climate created play an important role, however this whole fusion Technology (AI & ML generated deployment) makes it more accurate and systemic.

Transformation of Rural Livelihoods through Sustainable Agricultural practices and Adoption of Solar through different Water Pumping Solutions has greatly impacted the overall level of productivity, decision making power of the farmers, a considerable increase in the income.

Farmers are now aware with increased consciousness to make choices on Clean Energy sources over Fossils. ???? OORJAgram INDIA (P) Ltd. provides turnkey energy solutions at the last mile alongside being the authorised distributors of Solar Water Pumping Solutions.
