“…In general, the SSA region presents significant potential for solar irrigation, as discussed in section 4.4. The variability in irrigation feasibility across different crops aligns with findings from other studies; namely, the irrigation of staple crops commonly cultivated by smallholders on 1-2 ha-such as maize, beans, and wheat-is often the least profitable [27,40] due to their lower market values [18]. Conversely, high-value horticultural crops like onions and tomatoes are more economically gainful to irrigate [27,47].…”

“…The current literature includes studies on irrigation potential in SSA, examined at both country-level [32][33][34][35] and continental scales [36][37][38][39]. These range from geographic information system (GIS)-based environmental suitability assessments [32,33] to identify viable locations for solar irrigation, to comprehensive integrated modeling, combining GIS-environmental suitability, hydrological, crop simulation, and economic benefits-costs analyses [34,35,37,40,41]. However, only a limited number of these previous studies have considered solar irrigation potential including assessing and delineating suitable cropland locations for solar irrigation [32,33] and economic benefits thereof [36,40,41].…”
