Abstract

This project focuses on designing and implementing a Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Water Pumping System to address the issue of frequent electricity outages in rural agricultural areas, specifically in Beit Dajan, Nablus. The system is designed for irrigation purposes only, using solar energy to power water pumps directly, without the need for batteries. This approach provides a reliable and sustainable water supply for crops, reducing dependence on the electrical grid and promoting environmental sustainability by utilizing renewable energy. The project follows a step-by-step process, starting with a feasibility study to assess the water requirements and solar energy potential in the area. Based on this information, appropriate PV solar panels, inverter and water pumps are selected. The next step involves designing the system, where the required solar array and pump sizes are calculated. A PV system simulation is conducted using specialized software to model and optimize the system’s performance under varying environmental conditions and to ensure it meets irrigation needs. After the design phase, the system is installed, including positioning the solar panels for optimal sunlight exposure and setting up the water pump. The system operates directly from solar power, without the use of batteries. Once installed, the system undergoes performance testing to evaluate its efficiency, water output, and overall functionality. Finally, based on the results, recommendations for system optimization and potential expansion to other agricultural areas are provided.
