generated electricity more of the time, but PV modules are not being used during winter because of water freezing in irrigation system and dormancy of crop. Crops or orchards in regions closer to the equator which require irrigation water year round will have a shorter payback when solar energy is used. 3. CONCLUSIONS Solar-PV water pumping systems less than 1.5 kW are more likely to be used in U.S. than wind powered water pumping systems due to a better match to water demand, less maintenance requirements (e.g. fewer moving parts), and a larger area of land with a good solar resource than with a good wind resource. As power requirements increase however, a wind only or a hybrid wind/solar water pumping system is desirable unless the price per Watt for solar-PV modules can be decreased significantly and/or efficiency of Solar-PV modules can be improved significantly. For helical and centrifugal pumps, standard 24V multi- crystalline silicon PV modules will likely be a better choice than high voltage multi-crystalline or thin-film modules due to supply problems if modules damaged in array. However, if worldwide production increases for the high voltage modules, these modules would be better due to better motor/pump efficiency with higher voltage. For diaphragm pumps, using a controller is nearly always the best option instead of directly connecting PV array to pump motor. 4. REFERENCES (1) Odeh, I, Yohanis, Y.G., and Norton, B.
