Solar power generation and water pumping in rural fields

Does solar water pumping system development lead to economic development in rural areas?

The Asian The development in PV water pumping systems leads to economy development in rural areas . The general trend of solar water pumping system development in Eastern Asia was to provide small sectors with fresh water and to predict the future dissemination levels .

Why is photovoltaic pumping so popular in rural areas?

Being economically competitive with a diesel generator and grid-connected water pumping systems is one of the major factors that can ensure growth in the popularity of photovoltaic pumping systems, especially in rural areas.

Are solar-powered water pumping systems more economical?

The reported literature on solar-powered water pumping system indicated that such systems are more economical at low pumping capacities compared to diesel and wind-powered water pumping systems and that solar-powered water pumping systems will compete with other powering systems if their overall cost is less than 5$/Wp.

Are solar-powered irrigation systems sustainable?

Solar-powered irrigation systems (SPIS) are a clean technology option for irrigation, allowing the use solar energy for water pumping, replacing fossil fuels as energy source, and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from irrigated agriculture. The sustainability of SPIS greatly depends on how water resources are managed.

Are solar water pumping systems based on photovoltaics?

The current state of system technologies, research, and the application of conventional and novel methods are presented in a review of solar water pumping systems. This publication aimed to compile studies on water pumping systems powered by solar energy with the help of photovoltaics.

Is solar water pumping a viable alternative to diesel pumping system?

Senol examined the performance and economic feasibility of water pumping systems powered by solar PV, in Turkey. It was observed that the PV solar pumping system was more suitable for the long run than diesel pumping system.
