Abstract: The paper presents the outcome of the powering of a conventional a.c. type water pump by photovoltaic (pv) solar modules which were 28 in number connected 7 in series giving a total of 4 parallel strings. An assesment of the system, which provides water to the University Mechanical Workshop and a nearby village, shows that the system has been operating continously since October 1993 and on average 20 m3 of water is pumped daily at average solar radiation level of 5kWh/m2/day.
