PM-KUSUM is made up of three parts, called Components A, B and C. Understanding them helps you choose the right path. This guide explains PM-KUSUM Components A, B and C with simple examples.
Component A – Solar power plants
Farmers, cooperatives or developers set up small solar power plants (individual capacity up to 2 MW) on barren, fallow or cultivable land. The electricity is sold to the local distribution company, creating an income stream from otherwise idle land.
Component B – Standalone solar pumps
This is the part most individual farmers want. It covers the installation of standalone solar agriculture pumps (commonly 3 HP to 7.5 HP) for off-grid areas where grid power is not available. The solar panels directly power the pump for daytime irrigation.
Component C – Solarisation of grid-connected pumps
Existing grid-connected agriculture pumps are solarised, so farmers can use solar power for irrigation and feed surplus electricity back to the grid.
Which component is for me?
| Your situation | Likely component |
|---|---|
| No grid power, need a new pump | Component B |
| Have a grid-connected pump already | Component C |
| Have spare land to generate income | Component A |
