Development Of Solar Water Pump For Aquaculture

Nowadays, the community and scientists have been urged to switch to renewable energy sources like as solar, wind, and biogas to power the water pumping system. Sun has shown to be the most encouraging power producing resources due to their availability as most of Peninsular Malaysia has six hours of...
