4. INTRODUCTION :-
India is the fifth economic power in the World, and 20% of its GDP is
contributed by the agriculture and allied sector. The agricultural sector entails various
activities involving land preparation, irrigation, crop growth ,harvesting, food
processing, etc. For meeting the current agricultural energy demand in India,
renewable solar energy has come up as a prime energy source that can reduce the
farmer's dependency on the use of conventional energy sources. The regular usage of
fossil fuels leads to its depletion and releases considerable CO2 into the atmosphere.
It is estimated that 4600 GW of installed solar energy systems would circumvent
about 4 gigatons of CO2 emissions yearly by 2050. As a result, solar energy has been
recognized as one of the most promising renewable alternatives to create heat and
electricity via solar technologies for agriculture as well as various industrial
processes. This review focuses on the status, importance, availability, and
applications of solar energy technologies in numerous agricultural operations that are
currently taking place all over India. This review also highlights the socio economic
importance, environmental impact, economic analysis, SWOT analysis, and future
technological potential of solar energy uses along with some limitations to its
extensive utilization in India.

8. ADVANTAGES :-
 Eco-friendly
 Economical to operate
 Useful in remote areas
 Easy to maintain
 Increasing Productivity

9. DISADVANTAGES:-
 Solar panels have to be cleaned and maintained regularly in
order to get optimal output.
 The impact of weather affects performances adversely.
 The initial cost or upfront cost of these pumps may be high.

10. APPLICATIONS:-
 Solar pumps are mostly used for irrigation purposes.
 Solar pumps ideally suited for all our pumping needs including
drinking water where grid supply cannot reach due to difficult
terrain.
 Solar panels can also be used in water treatment plans.

11. CONCLUSION :-
Renewable solar energy is a highly impactful and sustainable alternative,
reducing CO2 emissions and combating global warming. India currently
generates 100 GW of solar power, with a potential of 750 GW using cost-
effective PV cell technologies. Solar concentrators like PFT, LFT, and hybrids
enhance energy harvesting efficiency. The review underscores solar energy's
significance in agriculture for water pumping, refrigeration, distillation,
desalination, and drying, proving superior to conventional sources. Objectives
include boosting farmers' income with low energy costs, aiding researchers in
innovation, and encouraging industrial deployment of efficient and cost-
effective solar solutions.
