This has led to innovation and widespread adoption of solar technology, including solar water pumps. Solar water pumps use photovoltaic panels to convert sunlight into electricity, which
Shuman built the world''s first solar thermal power station in Maadi, Egypt (1912-1913). Shuman''s plant used semicircle shaped troughs to power a 60-70 horsepower engine
The history of solar water pumping can be traced back further, with the first instance believed to be in 1913, when Frank Shuman created the world''s inaugural solar
For the first time, women farmers in the rural villages of Bessassi and Dunkassa, in northern Benin, are able to grow vegetables and fruits during the six month dry season, improving food
The first real pump in known history was invented by the Ancient Greeks around 200 BC. The famous mathematician Archimedes came up with a device that changed the
This invention is a solar powered water pump that used solar heated steam to pump water from a deep well. The energy of the steam is transmitted down the well to the pump by means of a...

The first case of solar PV water pump reported in 1964 in the Soviet Union. However, the flow rate and working head of the water-pumping systems were small, but these
We believe it to be in 1913 on the outskirts of Cairo, when an inventor from Philadelphia named Frank Shuman built the world''s first solar thermal power station, using the abundant Egyptian
