A solar pump is a pump running on electricity generated by photovoltaic panels or the thermal energy available from collected sunlight as opposed to grid electricity or diesel run water pumps. The operation of solar powered pumps is more economical mainly due to the lower operation and maintenance costs and has less environmental impact than pumps powered by an internal combustion engine(ICE). Solar pumps are useful where grid electricity is unavailable and alternative sources (in particular wind) do not provide sufficient energy.
Land is a scarce resource in India and per capita land availability is low. Dedication of land area for exclusive installation of solar arrays might have to compete with other necessities that require land. The amount of land required for utility‐scale solar power plants—currently approximately 1km 2 for every 20–60 megawatts (MW) generated could pose a strain on India's available land resource. The architecture more suitable for most of India would be a highly‐distributed set of individual rooftop power generation systems, all connected via aloc a l grid. However, erecting such an infrastructure, which does not enjoy the economies of scale possible in mass, utility‐scale, solar panel deployment, needs the market price of solar technology deployment to substantially decline, so that it attracts the individual and average family size household consumer. That might be possible in the future, because PV is projected to continue its current cost reductions for the next decades and be able to compete with fossil fuel.
The use of solar energy and technology have been around human lifetime since 7th Century BC, starting with the use of magnifying glass to concentrate sunlight to cook food. Nowadays the technology has improved massively and we have ability to convert solar energy to produce electricity. A solar lamp also known as solar light or solar lantern, is a light fixture composed of an LED lamp, solar panels, battery, charge controller and inverter. Depending on where and when the lamp is being used, it has various sizes of batteries. The lamp operates no electricity or batteries are required due to the use of solar through the use of photovoltaic panel

A solar fan is a mechanical fan powered by solar panels. The solar panels are either mounted on the device or are installed independently. Solar fans mostly do not require secondary power sources other than solar power, as most of them are used for cooling purposes during day time. Some types are also used for heating purposes. It runs the fastest when it is the hottest outside providing savings on air conditioning costs.
