Punjab Experience

Before Solar pumps

Erratic Grid Supply High cost of Pumping - using Diesel Logistics of getting Diesel to site High Maintenance cost Regular Supervision Pollution and Noise Inefficient Pumps Remote site - Expensive to Get grid

Effect in Punjab
Taken Off 1,700 Solar Pumps In three years 2004 700 pumps to be installed Attractive price due to additional subsidy by State Government Early pay back period Reliable power supply More saving due to low maintenance Hassle Free Demand for Bigger Pump Faith in Alternative Source of Power
