A windpump replaced by a solar-powered pump at a water hole in the Augrabies Falls National Park. [Notes 1] This solar water pump up to 3.7 kW is useful for farmers.Solar-powered pumps run on electricity generated by photovoltaic (PV) panels or the radiated thermal energy available from collected sunlight as opposed to grid electricity- or diesel-run water pumps.

Karnataka I solar park is a 40.5 megawatt (MW DC) photovoltaic power station. [1] It is located at Chikkoppa Village in the Koppal District of the Indian state of Karnataka. It was commissioned in January 2018. It covers 178 acres (72 hectares) and supplies about 72,000 people with energy.
France is aiming to increase its solar PV capacity from 11.5 GW in March 2021 to 23 GW by the end of 2023. The country offers feed-in tariffs for small-scale solar PV up to 100 kWp on rooftops for self-consumption, with a specific grid tariff for collective users and exemption from the domestic tax on electricity for projects under 1 MW.
NASA patented a type of solar-powered Stirling engine on August 3, 1976. It used solar energy to pump water from a river, lake, or stream. [1] The purpose of this apparatus is to “provide a low-cost, low-technology pump having particular utility in irrigation systems employed in underdeveloped arid regions of the earth…[using] the basic principles of the Stirling heat engine“.
Solar power plants are developed to deliver merchant electricity into the grid as an alternative to other renewable, fossil or nuclear generating stations. [96] The plant owner is an electricity generator. Most solar power plants today are owned by independent power producers (IPP's), [97] though some are held by investor-or community-owned ...
In 1972, Viessmann opened its first foreign factory in Faulquemont (France), followed by Waterloo, Ontario (Canada), the first site outside Europe, in 1978. With the development of new technologies, the company responded to the challenges of the energy crisis: In 1976, the first solar collectors were produced, followed by the first heat pumps ...
The power purchase agreement (PPA), which is widespread in the United States, is beginning to develop in France: in June 2020, Auchan signed three electricity supply contracts directly with their producer: purchase from Voltalia for 20 years of the output from two new solar power plants located in Grasse (Alpes-Maritimes) and Martigues (Bouches ...
