Abstract
The current paper works on sustainable energy pumping system. It involves in a design of a pump which is freely floating on the surface of water/fluid which displaces from its original position depending upon the control. The solar floating pump consists of a floatation unit that is made of high density thermocol. The housing unit consists of a pump system that consists of an impeller connected to a 12V DC motor which is powered by a solar power system. The solar power system used consists of water proofed solar panels that is in a closed circuit with the motor. The results which are obtained are validated with the existing pump design. Overall, work concentrates mainly on stability, power generation and the discharge.
