SOLAR AND FUEL CELL HYBRID SPRAYER

Abstract

Energy demand” is one the major thread for our country. Finding solutions, to meet the “Energy -
demand” is the great challenge for Social Scientist, Engineers, Entrepreneurs and Industrialist of our Country. According to
them, Applications of Non-conventional energy is the only alternate solution for conventional energy demand. Now-a-days
the Concept and Technology employing this Non-conventional energy becomes very popular for all kinds of development
activities. One of the major area, which finds number of applications are in Agriculture Sectors. Solar energy plays an
important role in drying agriculture products and for irrigation purpose for pumping the well water in remote villages
without electricity. This Technology on solar energy can be extended for spraying pesticides, Fungicides and Fertilizers etc.,
using Solar Sprayers. This Project deals how a „Power Sprayer‟ which is already in use and works with hand operated pump
and fossil fuel operated pump can be converted into solar sprayers.
It can be most often used at various locations such as farms, gardens although it can become more popular in rural
areas as well. The additional advantage of this project is that in absence of sun rays the battery can be charge through
external supply simply by connecting a charging cord.
