METHODOLOGY<br />
• When the Photovoltaic (PV) module (array) is exposed to<br />
sunlight and light falls on the active surface, the electrons in<br />
a <strong>solar</strong> cell become energized and Photovoltaic array<br />
converts <strong>solar</strong> energy directly into electricity as Direct<br />
Current DC<br />
• The Photovoltaic PV module can also be used for AC<br />
applications using an inverter. Photovoltaic PV is especially<br />
suitable for <strong>water</strong> <strong>pump</strong>ing because energy need not be<br />
stored for night <strong>pump</strong>ing. Instead, <strong>water</strong> can be stored to<br />
supply <strong>water</strong> at night<br />
• The power from a <strong>solar</strong> system and the volume <strong>of</strong> <strong>water</strong><br />
<strong>pump</strong>ed varies with the amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>solar</strong> radiation
