Overview

Randomized trial evaluates solar water pumping effectiveness in rural Nigeria, highlighting economic and environmental benefits.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop and assess a solar-powered water pumping system for sustainable agriculture in rural Nigeria.
  • Developed a photovoltaic water pumping system for the Karshi community.
  • Evaluated feasibility using hybrid optimization of multiple electric renewables software.
  • Compared economic viability against a conventional diesel-driven system.
  • The solar water pumping system produced the energy required for irrigation.
  • Demonstrated net present value of ₦1.8 million and payback period of 0.7 years.
  • Reduction of 102 kg CO2 emissions annually and decreased diesel fuel use by 38.9 liters.
