The need for food rises gradually as the population increases day by day. Correspondingly, agricultural
products need to be further cultivated. And so, Irrigation is
one of the most significant factors for producing these products more productively. Both the irrigation method and the
way of obtaining groundwater greatly affect the profitability
of the producer. In this study, determining the most efficient
method for irrigation and obtaining the necessary energy has
been examined. Method: One of the most suitable ways for
irrigation methods is the use of electric motors. Today, most
of the electricity consumed is derived from fossil based fuels. Fossil based fuels, which have not been a problem in the
past, will face the problem of depletion in the near future. Due
to this reason, new energy sources are continuously needed
and alternate renewable energy systems are being developed
in many ways. Results: This study mainly focuses on deriving the energy requirement from renewable energy sources.
Consequently, the energy attained from the renewable sources
meets the energy need for irrigation systems Conclusion: The
sun is a main source of these systems because of its perpetual
energy. Therefore, in this study, the electrical and cost analysis of a grid-connected photovoltaic solar energy plant with
a power of 35.8 kWp, which will provide the energy needed
to water a greenhouse on 10 acres of land in Kahramanmaras
province, are performed.
