Because of human need for energy, extra special attention is in the usage of renewable-energy sources in recent years. On the other hand, environmental pollution is created with fossil energy. Photovoltaic (PV) energy is also one of the renewable-energy sources that are available in almost all parts of the globe, especially in Iran. One application of this energy is in water pumping system. In this paper, we precede the technical and financial study on photovoltaic water pumping system for irrigation of GORGAN's farm fields (one of Northern Province of Iran) with the RETScreen software tools. In order to the results, it is obvious that the usage of this clean energy causes the reduction on production costs during of its operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
