A Solar Powered Shallow Well refers to a water supply system that utilizes solar energy to pump water from a shallow well. In this system, solar panels harness sunlight and convert it into electrical energy, which is then used to power a water pump. The pump draws water from a relatively shallow well, typically drilled to access groundwater.
