Abstract

The investigation aimed to find the constraints faced by adopters and non-adopters of solar photovoltaic water pump set. The study was conducted purposely in Jhajjar district of Haryana on the basis of highest number of solar photovoltaic water pump sets installed. 50 beneficiaries and 50 non-beneficiaries were taken for the study and interviewed through a well-defined questionaire. Garret ranking methodology was used to know the ranks of constraints given by farmers in adoption of solar water pump set. More than 50 per cent adopters reported major constraints like poor after sale service by the service providers, delay in installation of solar pump set, small land holdings and availability of less number of solar photovoltaic water pump set (SPWPS). Similarly, the constraints which the non-adopters highlighted in adoption of this technology for irrigation purpose were less availability of subsidized solar water pump set, high initial cost, small landholdings and lack of knowledge about the profitability of solar pump technology. Suggestions for proper implementation of this technology were also incorporated in the study.
