Abstract : Renewable energy is collected from natural resources like solar, wind, thermal, tidal. Solar energy is one of the
most beneficial resources for electricity generation with zero emission. Solar energy is obtained from conversion of solar
radiation into electrical energy by means of either solar photovoltaic cell or solar concentrator. Photovoltaic cell converts
solar energy into electrical energy by photovoltaic effect. Solar concentrator concentrates solar radiation by means of mirrors
or reflectors. Solar energy has been utilized for generation of electricity more than 8 hours on an average day span. Solar
water pump run on photovoltaic panels. Solar water pump is designed especially for remote location.It is emerging source
for pupping, irrigation.Solar water pump is mainly depends on two parameters: Ground water potential and solar radiation
during the day. This research work contains development of 3 kilowatt solar water pump for irrigation. Discharge (output)
has been recorded for different time of day span, different interval of month according to season (winter, summer, and
monsoon). Output of this system varies throughout the day. It is observed that discharge (Flow rate) is increased with
intensity of solar radiation. Discharge is compare with domestic electric pump. In most of the case discharge of solar water
pump is higher than electric pump at same head. Solar water pump is more appropriate for water pumping due to its low
operational cost, low maintenance cost over diesel pump and electrical pump especially for remote area.
