Water conservancy construction has been regarded as the key agriculture problem by Chinese government. Our irrigation infrastructure is generally relatively weak and late in modernization, the irrigation, water pumping and other water conservancy facilities configuration are imperfect, the factors are seriously affecting China's agriculture industry and rural economy development. Farmland irrigation has been one of the main restricted factors in China’s agriculture development for thousand of years.

 

The 9th Pan-Asia Kunming International Agricultural Expo was grandly held in Kunming International Exhibition Center on 13th, October, 2013. "Building headquarters economy of agriculture industry, promoting the development of modern agriculture" is the theme of the Expo, aimed to push comprehensive upgrades of Yunnan Agriculture industry and market competition, to highly develop and expand new agricultural technology and functions , to gradually build modern irrigation and water conservancy constructions, to promote the quality and efficiency of agricultural production in Yunnan , and to ensure the income of farmers. A mass of Yunnan local agricultural products with hi-quality as well as new technology have been shown in the fair. They demonstrated obviously the great efforts accomplished in the farmland irrigation by Yunnan provincial government in the past years.
 

Expo Opening Ceremony

 

Solartech and the partners attended the Agricultural Expo, and exhibited the world’s first renewable solar energy application products with various of patented technologies. The serious of products included solar pumping system and solar pumps ect.Mr. Hu Minhao, the Vice General Manager of Solartech introduced the  application projects of solar pumping system in farmland irrigation, daily water supply and some other areas in Yunnan .

 

With decreasing rainfall, the agricultural production in Gaoda Town, Yuxi City has been hampered in recent years. Especially this year, the soaring of temperatures from the very start of the spring and some other factors resulted in severe drought, the bad situation is even more severe than the previous years. The drought in Gaoda town had seriously affected the growth of crops and the basic daily life of local villagers. Great attention has been paid to this by the  municipal and provincial government.

 

This drought resisting demonstration project with solar pump was funded by the Science and Technology Department of Yunnan Province, and jointly launched by Rural Science and Technology Service Center of Yunnan Province and Yuxi Municipal Science and Technology Bureau with other departments. After repeated discussions and comparisons, they decided to adopt Solartech PSA5500-1 solar pumping system, which fully solved the irrigation problem of 200 acres of corn, wheat and other crops in Gaoda Town.In addition, according to the statistic analysis, the system can generate 17,870Kwh of electricity annually; it can also reduce 168 tons of coal, 73.9 tons of CO2, 3.4 tons of SO2, 2.5 tons smoke and 43.7 tons of lime-ash in its 25-year lifetime.The solar water conservancy projects brought substantial benefits to local economy and society.The measures taken by Yuxi municipal government are popular, which received a lot of praises from the local people.
 

Demonstration of Solartech Solar Pumping System in Gaoda

 

In addition to the significant effect in the application of agriculture irrigation in Yunnan, Shenzhen Solartech system also provide sufficient water resources for the water-lacking areas. The Shanyao people in Longmen Village, Banchao Town, Funing County, Yunnan Province had been struggling in water shortage. A solar pump project was funded by Rural Ccience and Technology Service Center of Yunnan and County Government of Funing project, they selected Shenzhen Solartech PS26K solar  system, pumping water from river at mountain foot to the reservoir at mountain top through a 2900m pipeline.The water shortage problem of Shanyao has been radically solved, more than 800 villagers and 330 cattle are benefited from the project. In Yunnan, there are many successful Solartech solar pumping projects, which made great contributions to the enhancement of agriculture production and living environment.

 

From numerous application projects in Yunnan, we can see that the full application of  system in Yunnan agricultural irrigation, daily water and other fields directly accelerated the process of the solar water conservancy utilities in Yunnan.

 

It is said that the exhibited Solartech system was firstly listed in the "Chinese Key Promotion Guidance Catalogue of Advanced Water Conservancy Technologies" in 2011 by the Science and Technology Promotion Center of Ministry of Water Resources in the nationwide promotion. The great R&D team is composed of industry experts, professors, doctors and masters, under the lead of Chief Engineer and Professor Xu Zheng at Shenzhen Graduate School of Tsinghua University, successfully invented the world's first solar pumping system in 2001. 13 years of field applications proved that it can fully guaranteed the water supply for crop irrigation with the stable performance, high efficiency of Solartech solar pumping system.Solartech solar pumping system has many advantages: independent fully automatic operation, no need of human maintenance, no grid nor batteries are required, it is highly recognized by the industry and the market. Compared with traditional diesel irrigation, solar pumping irrigation not only saves the operational cost, but also greatly improves the absorption of water and fertilizer for the crop. In addition, the good combination with water-saving irrigation equipment and solar pumping system makes good usage of renewable energy.

 

By far, Solartech solar water pump systems have been widely used in agricultural irrigation, desert control, domestic water supply, urban waterscape, sewater desalination and many other fields worldwide. Solartech will continue to provide the most efficient solar pumping irrigation technologies to accelerate agriculture modernization.
 

Deputy Govenor of Yunnan Provincial Department of Water ResourcesMr. Wang Shizong Visiting Solartech Solar Pumping System

 

In solartech exhibition zone, a mass of visitors gathered to view and consult. The solar pump system has successfully attracted the majority of merchant and the water conservancy agencies. The Deputy director of Yunnan Provincial Department of Water Resources Wang Shizong also visited solar pumping system.He mentioned that in recent years, China solar industry has developed very fast. He explained Solartech solar pumping system fully supported the work of national agricultural irrigation, achieved the modernization of agriculture water conservancy. It is a inevitable trend to promote agriculture solar water conservancy in the near future.

 

In recent years, with the rapid development of China solar industry, the world's largest solar manufacturing industry has formed in China. Solar agricultural irrigation technology solves the long-term existing shortage of irrigation waterat a great extent. It is the key to the development of China agriculture industry that we need to accelerate the construction of farmland solar water conservancy to guarantee irrigation water.Adopting solar pumping system for agricultural irrigation can solver water supply problem through the constructions of rural solar water conservancy modernization. In the long run, solar pumping system will create a brand -new mode of global agricultural irrigation.
