Feasibility of using a large deep water PV water pumping system: A case study for an average farm in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

This paper illustrates a study of sizing a large deep water PV water pumping system in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This system is applied on an average farm located in Riyadh which has an average water consumption of 245 m3/day. Sizing such a system has been carried out by using some useful tools such as Homer and PVsyst. A 45 m water level in a deep well needs a 5.4 kW pump, 11.6 kw PV, 6.8 kW converter and 9, 200 A-12 V, batteries. The results of both softwares are compared to each other and showed almost the same outputs. In addition, water cost has been estimated with supporting data, resulting in exact value of C4/m3.
