Abstract

The study investigates the use of solar energy and project management in the sustainable agriculture sector of Punjab, Pakistan. A 40-acre land with a solar-powered water reservoir supports up to 15-17 irrigation sets, demonstrating a strategic combination of reserve management and environmental stewardship. The agronomy of onions, cauliflower, cucumber, and brinjal on the farm could yield a profit between 6.99 and 7.23 million Rupees, with a breakeven point of 5 to 6 months. This model demonstrates profitable, eco-friendly agronomic practices, addressing water insufficiency and climate effect challenges. The research highlights the need for specific project management to fully utilize solar-powered tube wells for irrigation systems and set a precedent for future agronomy activities.
