Solar Agricultural
Pump
Replace diesel pumps with zero-fuel solar irrigation — eligible for up to 90% PM-KUSUM subsidy for farmers.
Why Switch to a Solar Agricultural Pump?
Diesel-powered water pumps for irrigation are expensive to run (₹50–80/hour in diesel cost), polluting, and unreliable — subject to fuel price fluctuations and mechanical failure. Solar agricultural pumps eliminate fuel costs entirely by running the pump motor directly from solar panels through an MPPT solar pump drive controller. The MPPT controller continuously adjusts the motor speed to match available sunlight, maximizing water output throughout the day. A 3 HP solar pump with adequate panels can pump 60,000–80,000 litres per day at 30m head — enough to irrigate 1–3 acres of crops. Under PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) Component B, eligible farmers can receive subsidies of up to 90% (60% central + 30% state) on the cost of solar pumps up to 7.5 HP. Kamal Solar is an empanelled vendor under PM-KUSUM in multiple states and handles the entire subsidy process.
Why Choose Kamal Solar Solar Agricultural Pump?
Zero Operating Cost
Once installed, your pump runs on free solar energy — no diesel, no electricity charges, no fuel shortages.
PM-KUSUM Subsidy Up to 90%
Central + state subsidies of up to 90% available for eligible farmers under PM-KUSUM Component B (up to 7.5 HP).
Drip + Sprinkler Compatible
Sufficient pressure and flow for drip and sprinkler irrigation systems — more efficient water use for crops.
MPPT Pump Controller
Maximum Power Point Tracking controller adjusts motor speed to available sunlight, maximizing daily water output.
AC/DC Submersible Motor
Choice of AC induction or DC permanent magnet motors — DC motors offer higher efficiency; AC motors are repairable locally.
Battery Backup Optional
Optional battery backup allows limited early-morning or evening pumping when panels are not generating.
