“…The procedure to elaborate a computer program, photo-irrigation, to correctly and straight forwardly design a PV installation to power an irrigation pumping system for a given crop at a given site was described by Cuadros et al [40]. Dursun and Ozden [41] designed an automatic drip irrigation of dwarf cherry trees system with solar powered Brushless DC Motors, in Zile District of Tokat Province of Turkey. The results showed that the use of this photo-irrigation system will be able to contribute to the socio-economic development in the Tokat region.…”

The lack of water in arid and semi-arid regions has often limited agricultural production. Indeed, even where water is available for irrigation, the lack of electricity, as well as the high costs of diesel, has created constraints on small farmers. The purpose of this research is to review the renewable energy potential available in arid and semi-arid zones that can be used for irrigation as a substitute for fossil fuels. In this review, the solar thermal irrigation, solar photovoltaic (PV) irrigation, wind pumping and biomass pumping are discussed. The comparison of different hybrid pumping systems and analyses of renewable sources irrigation assessment in arid and semi-arid regions of Mozambique also are discussed. The results of this study showed that there are still certain technological limitations regarding the use of solar thermal energy for irrigation. As far as wind power is concerned, the analysis of the pumping water life cycle cost showed that the wind power water pumping system is more economical and viable compared to the diesel based system. However, the study concluded that photovoltaic solar energy has been shown to be more viable for pumping water for irrigation in arid and semi-arid regions.

This paper aimed at assessing the economic and financial viability of solar-powered irrigation of tomato crop in Jordan Valley. Data were collected from 16 tomato farms that use solar-powered irrigation system. Another 16 farms with diesel-powered irrigation system was investigated for comparative reasons. Descriptive statistics, Cost Function Analysis (CFA), Life-cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA), Water Productivity (WP) and the financial indicators of Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Payback Period (PP) and Benefit to Cost Ratio (B/C) were the main economic and financial analytical tools used in this study. The results of the study revealed that costs of inputs, labor costs and equipment and maintenance costs have had a lower adverse impact on the total revenues level when using solar-powered irrigation system. The results also indicated the preference of the investigated financial indicators (NPV, IRR, PP and B/C ratio) when solar-powered irrigation is used compared to diesel-powered irrigation. The results also revealed a lower cost of life of the farm under the use of solar-powered irrigation. The governmental policies and programs should be directed toward the concepts of renewable energy in general and solar energy uses in agriculture in particular. Special agricultural extension plans in training and capacity building of farmers and extension workers on the use of solar energy in irrigation of agricultural crops should be developed. Cooperation in the fields of solar energy between the Ministry of Agriculture and related parties such as the Royal Scientific Society and the Ministry of Energy should be initiated to conduct specialized researches in the fields of solar energy use in agriculture.

“…The study computed monthly mean values from (2004 -2007) in Terengganu state (Malaysia), models are estimating on a horizontal surface and found out a good source from those models in case lost the data of radiation in that period, a new linear model which used was (H/Ho= 0.2207 + 0.5249) based on Angstrom model. M. Dursun and S. Ozden [6] had been used an automatic irrigation system to irrigate an area of the plants with cherry trees by two motors, the first was placed inside a deep well to transfer a water in the tank. The second motor has a task to transfer the water from the tank to the drip irrigation system.…”

In this study, the possibility of using the produced energy from solar energy system for irrigation in Kirkuk city and outskirt is studied. The power from the photovoltaic PV panel is (300 W). Three values for the well depth (h) which are (60,70, and 80 m) are used respectively. Depending on the data from Iraqi Meteorological Organization and Seismology, the relations between the angle of solar radiation along the year, the solar radiation, and the actual and theoretical solar brightness in each month showed in graphical diagrams. The volume flow rate was represented graphically for each value of well depth. It was found that the volume flow rate increase with increasing PV panel power and the solar system is more efficient in mid-day and at mid-year (summer season). However, flow rate was inversely proportional and affected by the well depth. The solar power from the PV panel can be used in irrigation since the volume flow rate from the system fulfil water requirements for most crops that cultivated in Kirkuk city.
