In the agricultural sector, solar-powered irrigation can be particularly successful to overcome the frequently occurring energy shortages causing disruption of supply needed for lifting and distributing irrigation water. Challenges, however, remain in the monitoring and governance of abstraction through water pumping systems.
Recent developments in harnessing solar energy have transformed solar powered irrigation systems (SPIS) into a cost-effective, reliable, and environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuel energy-based irrigation systems.
Irrigation in remote areas – Unlike traditional electric or diesel-powered pumps, solar-powered systems work in off-grid locations, ensuring water access where conventional infrastructure is lacking. Eco-friendly – Solar energy is a clean, renewable resource, reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable farming.
There are different types of irrigation methods that can be powered by solar energy, each suitable for specific farming needs: 1. Surface irrigation This traditional method involves moving water across the surface of agricultural land using gravity. It is commonly used for crops like rice and wheat, where water is spread evenly over large areas. 2.
