Abstract

This study investigates how Palestine's dependency on imported electricity might be reduced by utilizing renewable energy (RE). There is tremendous potential for utilizing solar energy (SE) in the area given the profusion of sunshine hours. This study's main objective is to use SE to drive agricultural pumps that draw groundwater out of the ground and deliver it to various irrigation systems. For a number of compelling reasons, SE must be used in agricultural initiatives in Palestine. As a result, the adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to power pumps and wells located within the Tulkarm District is being examined and compared in this study. wo pumps feeding the same well and rated at 250 and 150 horsepower each have been specifically chosen for this use. Following that, this study gives thorough design requirements, together with the technical and budgetary characteristics of the necessary solar PV system. The planned system consists of 517 PV panels that are carefully placed over a 1300 m2 area to successfully provide 50% of the energy needs of the pumps. The device additionally has a good payback period of 2.5 years.
