In a very natural way, sunlight does play a huge role in crop health - plants need and use sunlight for nutrient production and absorption, photosynthesis and so on. But when one talks of solar power and its application in agriculture, it takes on myriad forms such as:
- Manufacturing equipment such as submersible pumps that run on solar power
- Power generation for irrigation and other uses
- Dryers and other equipment that run on solar energy
- Greenhouses
- Lighting solutions and so on
- Power generation for irrigation and other uses
One of the biggest areas of development and debate is in solar-powered agriculture pumps for irrigation.
