This paper presents the water pumping system based on solar photovoltaic (SPV) to cater the need of water in an academic institution for various applications like irrigation, drinking, washing etc. In this paper a case study of Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET), Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India is carried out. Presently water is pumped with the help of grid power supply resulting huge energy consumption. As solar water pumping has several advantages over conventional water pumping systems, apart from economical advantages, therefore an attempt has been made to develop SPV based water pumping system to meet daily water needs of the institute. A techno-economic analysis of SPV based water pumping system and comparison of proposed system with the conventional one is also discussed in this work.
