“…Based on the review conducted, the highest system efficiency of 7% was observed for a system using helical pumps providing 0-8.4 l/min of flowrate in the Amarillo Texas region [35]. The highest average flowrate of 2600 l per hour was quoted to be generated for a 990 Wp system in Algeria with 11 m head giving a productivity of 9498.030 m 3 /kWp per year, the efficiency of the system was 1.299% without shading and 0.83% with shading [36]. The most extensive research was conducted on a 3-5% efficient system with a size of 2kWp capable of water head of 5-125 m and was conducted in seven different countries however, this research was done 20 years ago [37].…”

This investigation focused on the research undertaken on solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal technologies for pumping water generally for irrigation of remote rural farms specifically considering the Sub-Saharan African region. Solar PV systems have been researched extensively for irrigation purposes due to the rise in Oil prices and the upscaling in commercialisation of PV technology. Based on the literature the most effective PV system is presented for the irrigation of a small scare remote rural farm with respect to the cost, pumping capacity and system efficiency. Similarly, solar thermal systems are reviewed and the most effective system described. Unlike PV technology, solar thermal technology for water pumping is lacking especially in small scale operations. However, with the possibility of local production, low investment cost, easy maintenance and lower carbon footprint, solar thermal water pumping technologies may be able to overcome the shortcomings of the PV technology that has stopped widespread use of the technology for irrigation applications. Taking into consideration recent developments in concentrated solar technologies using the Stirling engine, novel solar thermal water pumping systems may be developed. This review also highlighted the different methodologies such as modelling, used to investigate and optimise the performance of solar powered systems.

“…3 Many studies have focused on the performance of PVPS. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Such studies lead to the conclusion that PVPSs are more feasible than diesel-generated systems. They also indicate that the average daily water flow rate is in the range of 5.333 to 26.022 m 3 /kWp and that the overall efficieny of the system is in the range of 1.299% to 5%.…”

Summary Solar energy is effectively used to power stand‐alone photovoltaic pumping systems (PVPSs) for irrigation and drinking purposes in remote areas. However, random vicissitudes and the unpredictability of the amount of solar energy that can be harnessed lead to difficulties in designing PVPS. Thus, an optimal sizing approach is essential to ensure satisfactory performance. In this paper, a numerical iterative sizing approach based on technical and economic objectives is developed to optimize the configuraion of PVPS. The loss of load probability criteria is considered as the technical objective, while the life cycle cost criteria is considered as the economic objective. The proposed pumping system provides a daily water for a small village in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The proposed sizing approach is used to test all the possible configurations of a wide range of photovoltaic (PV) array sizes to specify the PV array configurations that realize the reliability condition. The optimal size of the storage tank and the optimal number of PV modules connected in series and parallel are specified to keep up a balance between the loss of load probability, life cycle cost, and excess water volume of PVPS. The performance of the system is tested on the basis of the proposed optimal configuration and hourly meteorological data for 1 year. The results show that the proposed system is available throughout most of the year.

The photovoltaic (PV) pumping system is a widely used application in Mauritania to ensure the water supply in rural area for populations needs. The system is composed of a PV generator, a DC/DC converter, a DC/AC inverter, a BLDC motor and a centrifugal pump. Study in this article we study with simulation in Matlab/ Simulink environment the performances of the PV pumping system taking into account the climate parameters (solar irradiance, and ambient temperature), and the effect of the total manometric head (HMT) on the pumped flow rate. In addition it also counted the electrical energy and flow rate of the each climatic parameter. Two mathematical motor -pump models for PV application, were proposed in this article to contribute in the studies of PV pumping sizing. These models link directly the operating current to the voltage and electrical power to the flow rate of the pump versus total head.
