Factors Shaping the Solar Pumps Market
-
High Operating Cost of Diesel Motors and Non-reliable Electricity Distribution
One of the biggest cost-consuming task for farmers in India and other agriculture dependent countries is running water pumps using diesel generators, which have high operating costs. There are still many villages, which do not have a wide coverage to the grid electricity. As a result, solar water pump systems are emerging as a superior alternative to save irrigation cost for farmers as well as electrification cost in remote areas for government.
Meanwhile, solar panels are becoming less expensive, which has created massive acceptance among end users. In upcoming years, the demand will continuously increase, especially in the agriculture sector owing to the anticipated reduction in cost.
-
Supportive Government Policies
The solar water pumps market is primarily driven by government supported initiatives and subsidies provided to consumers on the purchase of solar panels. For example, in India, capital subsidies are offered by the central government through the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and the National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). Such initiatives by government is supporting the adoption of solar pumps among consumers from the agriculture sector.
-
Increasing Focus on Low Carbon Emissions
Governments worldwide are actively implementing initiatives to curb the growing carbon emission in an effort to reduce the global warming. Such initiatives have stemmed from the growing dependence on the usage of renewable sources of energy across industries to reduce energy consumption costs and total carbon footprint on the environment. Such initiatives are driving the demand for solar pumps.
