-Due to the falling costs of solar modules, '''photovoltaic pumps (PVP)''' are an increasingly competitive solution for irrigated agricultural production as well as other uses.
+Photovoltaic Powered Irrigation Systems are a technically mature but not yet a very widespread technology. A typical system consists of an energy source (PV array) to produce the power required for the pump that lifts the water to a usable height where it is distributed (thorugh open water flow, piped water with outlets, sprinkler systems, drip irrigation etc.).

+The key barriers to PV-powered Irrigation Systems today include investment costs (esp. for small-scale farmers), technical know-how for installation and maintenance, operational skills from the farmers and ecological limits (esp. water ressource).

 This report assesses the technical maturity and the market potential for solar powered water pumping for irrigation - in Bihar, India. It provides an overview of the current usage of solar water pumps for irrigation, along with opportunities and challenges for their usage.
@@ Line 32: / Line 30: @@
 India uses 12 million gridbased (electric) and 9 million diesel irrigation pump sets (C-STEP 2010). However, due to high operational cost of diesel pump farmers are forced to practice deficit irrigation of crops,resulting in considerable reductions in their yield and income.
-Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) sets represent an environment-friendly, low-maintenance and costeffective alternative to irrigation pump sets which run on grid electricity or diesel. It is etimated that India's potential for Solar PV water pumping for irrigation to is 9 to 70 million solar PV pump sets, i.e. at least 255 billion ltr/year of diesel savings (HWWI 2005). Still, solar PV water pumping systems remain a rather unknown technical option, especially in the agricultural sector.

Still, solar PV water pumping systems remain a rather unknown technical option, especially in the agricultural sector.
 In Bihar, solar PV water pumping for irrigation is a suitable option. Bihar has ample availability of surface and ground water, suitable agricultural practices, and sufficient solar radiation conducive for solar PV water pumping. The study points out key<br/>challenges and potential solutions for tapping the solar water pumping potential in Bihar - structured into market related, regulatory, and technology related issues.
-The study concludes that policy makers, the private sector and other facilitating stakeholders and financial institutes need to come together and address the analysed barriers to large-scale deployment of the solar PV water pumping systems in Bihar.
