Islamabad/Brussels, (Unib Rashid) — Dr. Taosif Iqbal of the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) has developed an innovative smart, sensorless inverter aimed at improving the performance and affordability of solar-powered water pumping systems.

The newly designed inverter eliminates the need for costly physical sensors traditionally used in solar pump controllers. By removing these components, the system reduces overall installation and maintenance costs while enhancing reliability.

The technology integrates artificial intelligence-based control mechanisms along with advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques to optimize energy extraction from solar panels. This ensures improved efficiency and stable operation under varying sunlight conditions.

According to researchers, the inverter delivers consistent and reliable power output, making it particularly suitable for rural and off-grid areas where dependable water pumping solutions are essential for agriculture and community water supply.

The development represents a significant step toward sustainable and cost-effective renewable energy solutions, supporting efforts to expand access to clean energy technologies in underserved regions.
