- Switching to solar energy is to get rid of the cost of electricity and the additional cost of electricity bills.
- Switching to solar energy is to reduce the emission of harmful gases and reduce the problems caused by climate change.
- Solar-powered tubes provide a long-term budget. Once installed, you can continuously get energy from them and get water from your tube wells for many years.
- The farmer will have control over his energy sources and his dependence on the electricity grid will be reduced.
