A solar pump is a water pumping system that operates using solar energy. It consists of solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity, which powers a motor that drives the pump. Solar pumps are commonly used for irrigation, livestock watering, and supplying drinking water in remote areas where electricity is unavailable or unreliable.

1. Surface Pumps – Used for shallow water sources like rivers, lakes, and wells with a depth of up to 10 meters.

2. Submersible Pumps – Suitable for deep wells and boreholes, typically used when the water source is more than 10 meters deep.
