Utilizing solar cell systems in remote desert areas in Jordan to exploit sustainable energy for irrigation and agriculture

ABSTRACT The present paper details a case study from Jordan and shows the implementation and impact of photovoltaic system in a remote area in northeastern of Jordan. This research aims to provide benefits to the livestock and agriculture population, and those concerned with agriculture, rural development, and renewable energies. Further, the study shows the possibility of using water storage tanks that run in parallel with the pump, and this led to the dispensing of high-cost storage batteries. In addition, the research addresses the problem of fluctuation of the return flow to solar radiation throughout the day by using a solar pump inverter technique with Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT). The results show the cost-effective by reducing the cost of diesel generators.
