There are some common problems faced in the installation and operation of solar water pumps by farmers as well as by manufacturers such as:
- Capital cost initially is high. However, with the drop-down of PV systems cost the benefits will back to both farmers and contractors!
- A reliable and effective system design is essential.
- Optimum Operation and maintenance are an issue. Smart systems will be useful.
- System security from thieves, especially in a rural area should be considered.
A good system examples found in the following papers:

Greetings Richa Parmar Mam,
The common issues faced by the End-User:
1. The time-varying solar radiation and water delivery issues - Need of Buffer Energy Storage.
2. Basic troubleshooting guidelines would be recommended for the end-user operational convenience
