Solar-powered water pumps are driven by photovoltaic (PV) panels or the thermal energy emitted from the sun, as opposed to water pumps that are powered by grid electricity or diesel. Solar-powered pumps typically consist of an array of solar panels, a solar charge controller, a DC water pump, a fuse box or breakers, electrical connections, and a water storage tank. Solar-powered pumps are more economical to run than pumps powered by internal combustion engines since they need less maintenance and have a smaller environmental impact. Solar pumps can be utilised in areas where other power sources (especially wind power) are insufficient or impractical when grid power is unavailable or not practicable.
Saudi Arabia Solar Water Pumps Market Driving Factors and Challenges
The increasing use of these pumps in areas without access to the grid will drive the market for solar water pumps. For instance, more individuals are using solar pumps for irrigation as a result of unforeseen power disruptions thanks to government help in the form of subsidies. Government programmes to encourage the use of solar pumps and severe restrictions on carbon emissions are causing the industry to grow. Improved efficiency, cost-effectiveness, ease of maintenance, longer working lives, environmental friendliness, and a decreased reliance on fuels are just a few of the advantages that solar water pumps offer, which are accelerating the market's growth. The expansion of agricultural activities to meet the rising global food demand as well as the need for a clean, fresh water source are driving the use of solar water pumps for irrigation.
During the anticipated time frame, it is anticipated that the Saudi Arabia Solar Pump market would grow significantly. The market is expected to develop as a result of the population boom, rising carbon emissions, and fast expanding investments in the construction of solar energy plants. The predicted expansion of the Saudi Arabian solar pump market will also be significantly impacted by the expanding trend towards sustainable energy-based items and the rising use of solar energy for irrigation and agricultural operations.
However, development is expected to be hampered by rural communities' ignorance of solar pumps. The ability of solar technology to generate power is still unknown to many agricultural landowners and farmers. Because electrical pumps are more widely available and have lower maintenance costs, farmers are discouraged from switching to solar pumps. As a result, these factors are anticipated to restrict market growth.
Impact of COVID-19 on Saudi Arabia Solar Water Pumps Market
The corona virus outbreak has had a significant impact on a number of businesses, including the solar power sector. Due to staff shortages and a lack of equipment due to halted transit, the solar power industry and its projects have been placed on hold as a result of the lockdown. Parts for solar panels are largely imported from China. The majority of China's global market trades have been suspended during this outbreak. As of right now, when the situation is considerably better than it was previously, it is anticipated that trading and production of solar parts will begin in China, which will gradually return the market to its regular pace.
