"Solar Energy Revolution: Exploring The Adoption Patterns Of Solar Pumps In Haryana"

Abstract

This research paper examines the adoption patterns of solar pumps in Haryana, India, within the agricultural sector. As worldwide necessities for renewable energy increase, this study investigates the specific dynamics driving the adoption of solar pumps, a sustainable alternative to traditional irrigation methods. Through a mixed-methods approach, encompassing analyses and consultations, the study explores the socio-economic, policy, and technical factors influencing farmers' decisions. It reveals both the incentives and challenges associated with solar pump adoption, shedding light on the broader transition towards renewable energy in Haryana's agricultural practices. By providing valuable insights into the adoption patterns and drivers, this research contributes to evidence-based policymaking and strategies aimed at fostering sustainable agricultural development.
