Part of the complete guide: Business, institutions & farms
Farms use power for irrigation, processing and lighting, often far from a reliable line. Solar can replace diesel and cut grid bills.
Best uses
- Irrigation pumps: banana and coconut farms with borewells are the clearest fit. See the PM-KUSUM guide.
- Rubber processing sheds: sheet rollers and smokehouse fans run in the daytime.
- Cold rooms and dairy: steady loads that suit rooftop systems.
Watch for
Tree shade and falling leaves, bird droppings and long cable runs. A ground-mounted array near the pump is sometimes cheaper than a roof. Try the solar pump calculator.
