What is Solar Irrigation?

A solar irrigation system is a sustainable agricultural solution that uses solar energy to power water pumps for irrigation purposes. It typically consists of photovoltaic panels, a pump, controller, and water distribution system.

Other irrigation infrastructure, such as centre pivot and travelling irrigators can also be powered by solar and batteries.

How Does Solar Irrigation Work?

Solar irrigation systems work by harnessing sunlight with solar panels, converting it into electricity to power a water pump. The pump draws water from a water source, such as a well or reservoir, and distributes it to crops through drip lines, sprinklers, or other irrigation methods.

What Are the Benefits of Solar Irrigation?

The benefits of solar irrigation systems include reduced operating costs (no fuel expenses), environmental sustainability (zero emissions), reliability (fewer moving parts), and energy independence (especially in remote areas).
