Summary/Abstract: The embedded solar-powered water pump system was considered an efficient irrigation technique for rice fields, and farmers have responded favorably. On the other hand, a complicated assembly process is needed for proper installation. It would require more experienced technicians. The said tests prove that performance is not affected by temperature. For fields of equal size, the system fills a holding tank in 2 minutes and 24 seconds. The study reflected direct proportionality between the field area and the water demand.
