Abstract - In rural areas, the isolated solar photo voltaic
water pumping system is the most effective system to
pump the water for drinking water, water treatment
and agriculture purpose. Today also, Life in rural areas
run without electricity due to the growing demand of
electricity and increasing cost of fossil fuel. This paper
explained about the single phase AC drive for solar
water pumping application. This system can satisfy the
basic needs of life without electricity in rural areas. The
proposed system involves capacitor start single phase
induction motor without lead acid battery so this
system not only reduces the initial cost but also
increases the life of independent solar photo voltaic
water pumping system.
Keywords - Solar Energy, Photovoltaic (PV), single phase
AC motor drive.
