Development and evaluation of solar battery charger coupled with SPV pumping systema

The solar battery charging station for charging of various farm equipment viz., tractor, power tiller, grass cutter, etc. using 12 V and 24 V DC systems was developed and evaluated. The charging station is suitable for coupling with 0.5 hp SPV pumping system suitable for lifting the shallow depth water in remote area. The performance of SPV system for water lifting coupled with charging station was evaluated. The dual application of SPV pumping system and battery charging system facilitates the full utilization of sunshine hours for useful work.
