Solar-powered photovoltaic pumping systems (SPVPSs) have emerged as a promising solution for sustainable drip irrigation in agriculture. This review article presents recent advances in SPVPSs for drip irrigation, with a focus on their design, performance and integration.
Santra, P. Performance evaluation of solar PV pumping system for providing irrigation through micro-irrigation techniques using surface water resources in hot arid region of India. Agric. Water Manag. 2021, 245, 106554. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef]
This system can operate mini-sprinklers, micro-sprinklers, and drippers to irrigate shallow water. The authors also highlighted that low-power solar pumping systems can help small farmers cope with water scarcity and climate change. They also stated that many regions with high brackish water levels face this scarcity.
Berwanger et al. (2023) used statistical process control to evaluate the distribution uniformity of drip irrigation systems using direct photovoltaic pumping . The values found by the author are similar to those found in this research, with CUD reaching 93% of the lower control limit.
Feature highlights: The Black Watering System Drip Irrigation Belt is designed for efficient agricultural irrigation, utilizing a 16mm diameter soft plastic pipe to deliver water directly to crop roots. It reduces
Solar pumps run on free sunlight, eliminating electricity or fuel costs. DC motors are more efficient than AC when paired with solar panels. No grid connection needed—perfect for remote
