India is a country which is rewarded with a huge amount of solar energy that varies between 2000 hours to 3000 hours yearly. Solar photovoltaic (SPV) based water pumping is the most appreciated application of solar energy. This paper gives information of various solar photovoltaic (PV) based water pumping systems (WPS) with advantages, issues and more prominent solar PV based WPS driven by a special machine with factors affecting whole system performance. For power conditioning in WPS, the power electronics based DC-DC converters, DC-AC converters, microprocessor and microcontroller are used. The Landsman converter permits excellent tracking of solar radiation using maximum power point tracker (MPPT) with changing insolation levels. This paper gives review on the comparative analysis of different motors used based on reliability, maintenance, and cost-effectiveness. Due to systematic operation emphasis is given to the Brushless DC motor.
