Abstract Details

2011, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
This report is a compilation of my six month internship experience on developing a solar water pumping system for Microsol International™ – a solar solutions providing company in United Arab Emirates (UAE). My responsibilities included planning and executing the project. A study on the water pumping activity in the UAE was done, based on which a product was designed for residential and light commercial applications. This phase was followed by developing and prototyping of the solar water pumping system. Based on the system design, financial models were constructed to understand cost of ownership and pay-back calculations for the consumer. The prototype was commissioned and tested at the local municipality followed by post installation monitoring and evaluation. Project proposal documents and technical installation manual were prepared for the product. After successful demonstration, the product was pitched to the government for promoting schemes targeting the residential sector.
