Abstract
The main aim of this thesis is to design a solar powered water pump that can provide water for irrigation without the use of batteries or generators. We have designed the system such that necessary power can be obtained from panel arrangement to run the submersible pump which pumps water from underground. We have calculated different tilt angles to provide the energy necessary to pump water for the cultivation and crops to grow on our location situated in Shibpur, Narsingdi, Bangladesh. The system is designed to fulfill the water required for the irrigation of crops during February to April and September to November.
