Calculation of the PV modules angular losses under field conditions by means of an analytical model

Abstract

There are many agriculture regions that suffer from a lack of water. Therefore, water distribution is being done on a periodic basis and farmers need to store water in artificial ponds on site so as to be able to irrigate their field during the anonymous days. However, artificial ponds may affect the environment negatively due to the creatures which live in it such as Algae which attracts mosquitos and causes bad smell. In this chapter, a simple and low-cost photovoltaic-based pumping system is proposed to inject chemical material in the water of artificial pond to get rid of Algae. The proposed system consists of a pump that is powered by a photovoltaic module and pumps the proposed chemical material in the artificial pond using a rotary nozzle that is fixed on a pipe around the ponds. The system is affordable and reduces the production of the unwanted creatures.
