        abstract = {Solar energy is the present trending technology in the world. Solar energy is harnessed and used for real time applications like water heater, dryer, electricity, street lighting, irrigation etc. From Past one decade onwards the technology of solar water pumping system is playing a very important role in the agricultural sector and it meets the farmer needs in supplying water to the farming fields. Centrifugal and reciprocating pumps are mostly commonly used in the agricultural sector.  
In this paper, we are analyzing a case study between centrifugal and reciprocating submersible pump set of the capacity 5hp 100m DC by using simulator and Outdoor Condition methods. By evaluating the below mentioned factors like how the motor pump set will operate with solar energy and analyzing the results of the performance of motor pump set with different parameters like power consumption, voltage, current, flow rate, pump output and required solar irradiation to attain the desired head for both the pumps.},
