2. Solar-powered pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_pump

   A windpump replaced by a solar-powered pump at a water hole in the Augrabies Falls National Park. [Notes 1] This solar water pump up to 3.7 kW is useful for farmers.Solar-powered pumps run on electricity generated by photovoltaic (PV) panels or the radiated thermal energy available from collected sunlight as opposed to grid electricity- or diesel-run water pumps.

3. Solar-powered Stirling engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_Stirling_engine

   NASA patented a type of solar-powered Stirling engine on August 3, 1976. It used solar energy to pump water from a river, lake, or stream. [1] The purpose of this apparatus is to “provide a low-cost, low-technology pump having particular utility in irrigation systems employed in underdeveloped arid regions of the earth…[using] the basic principles of the Stirling heat engine“.
