Although the Mexiccan Govern nment hass established an aggricultural p policy aimed d at produceers in farming fields to reduce povverty in th he rural areeas without electricity, it has not been possiible to impllement acction prograams that im mprove the q quality of liffe in such rural commu unities. In n addition tto this, thee lack of w water supply, water viital for sustaining human, plant and animaal life, significantly limits the deveelopment off these co ommunitiess living in paartial or totaal marginalizzation. herefore, th his paper deescribes the design metthodology o of a solar‐po owered Th pumping sysstem, as w well as the feasibility of sociaal, economic and nvironmenttal use of p photovoltaicc solar tech hnology. All this in orrder to en su upply water to meet the basic needs of aa communitty called V Ventura Beeach, locateed in the ttown of Cop pala, Guerrrero. Due to o its geograaphical lo ocation, it haas high avaiilability of so olar resourcce througho out the yearr. Thus, w with a daily average of 5.5kW‐h/m m2 in the reggion, the syystem propo osed is feeasible to usse. Proceedings of the Third Internatiional Symposium m on Renewable E Energy and Sustaainability, Temixco, Moreloos, México, Septeember 9-11, 20155 Th he proposed design wiill be comprrised by 32 modules PV V of 300Wp p each, ad dding up to o a total cap pacity of 9,6 600 Wp or 9.6 kWp. The solar arrray will bee divided in nto 2 framess; each one will contain n 16 solar m modules witth their reespective electrical boxx. The pump p is the subm mersible typ pe, brand Lo orentz, m model PS9k C‐SJ17‐11,, which will be installed in thee well, the pump co ontroller wiill be locateed in a nichee placed as close as po ossible to th he well an nd solar mo odules.
