Abstract:

This research work was carried out in Shalla and Dharmapasa Upazila areas of Sunamganj District under Sylhet Division, where two solar-powered irrigation pumps were installed. Daily radiation and temperature were favorable for solar energy harvest. The daily average solar radiation in that place was up to 650 kWh per meter square each month. The global radiation of the solar panel used in our research and the surface temperature of the element were related to each other. On relatively shady days we find that the amount of electricity generated from solar panels is slightly less than on hot sunny days. The daylight hours were more than 12 hours. The pump was operated for irrigation work without any issues and discharge was up to the expectations. The overall efficiency of the solar-powered pump was 86% (operational).
