Normal mindset of the farmer is to install a pump which can deliver maximum water in shortest time. When the farmers are asked why high ratings pumps are desired, the farmers general answer is that Electric Power is not available most of the time and when it is available they want to utilize it to the fullest by installing higher HP pumps. This results in miss use of electric power and more burden on transformers. If more water is pumped in less time, it also results in ground water abuse and it further results in decrease in land productivity as well.
One such farmer Mr Ram Saran Pandey from Village: Anjani, PO: Siroli, Tehsil: Aonla, Dist: Bareilly came in contact with Roto Energy Systems Limited. The farmer was contemplating purchasing 7.5 HP Tubewell Pump. The new connection would have costed him between INR 3 – 3.5 Lakhs. Further as electric supply is erratic in his village, he would have additionally spent Rs 800 (Approx) per day on the diesel for the gensets required to run the 7.5 HP pump set (Not to forget hazel of purchasing, transportation and storing diesel).
Roto Energy Systems Limited provided an alternate optimized Stainless Steel Solar Pump Solution to this farmer installing RSSC 38-J Model with 5 HP Water Filled 10 Pole 3000 RPM PMSM Borewell Motor with 4995 Wp Monoperc Solar Modules. This system is not only fulfilling the water requirement of the farmer, it has also costed him less than half the price which he would have otherwise spend on the tubewell system. Further as no operational cost is required for Solar, the system will be running for free for 25-30 years. Also in case of Solar the land will be irrigated during day time when Sun Power is available, so the farmer need not rush to the field in odd time (Early mornings or late night which earlier he was doing as power supplies were available in odd times). This Solar Pumping System will help the farmer spend quality time with his family as well.
Most of the farmers in this village and in surrounding villages are also now interested in going the solar way with ROTO Energy Systems Limited.
