Abstract: This paper presents design and development of bullock Mobile Solar operated water lifting System. The experimental setup is built up in UAE, CAET, Parbhani Maharashtra, India. Solar power generating system performs operation of water pumping. Solar power generating system is designed with main frame attached with solar panel carrier, and variable frequency drive. Pneumatic tyres are use to transport system on and off the road to reduce animal drudgery. 9 panel of 335 watt each are connected in series to obtained 3 Kw power to run 3-phase AC motor to lift water. 3 kW Mobile solar operated water pumping system is designed for remote location where electric facility is not available so that farmers can irrigate farm in day time. Solar water pumping is mainly depending on two parameters ground water potential and solar radiation has been recorded for different time of day span. In normal sunny days average radiation (410 W/m2) motor output was found optimum (1440 RPM) for 5 hr.in one day. Hence motor can be very well operated for five hours in a day. Discharge in the range of 90.9 to 33.3 lpm for the solar insolation ranging between 455 to 92 W/m2. Solar power generating system is more appropriate for water pumping due to its operational cost, low maintenance cost over diesel pump especially for remote area.
