Abstract

This study presents a simulation-based design of a solar photovoltaic (PV) water pumping system for deep-well irrigation in Damascus, Syria, where water scarcity and unreliable grid electricity constrain agricultural productivity. The objective is to develop a technically feasible and economically viable solar-powered alternative to conventional diesel-based pumping systems. This study contributes by integrating site-specific hydraulic requirements with PVsyst-based simulation for high-head irrigation conditions. The proposed system is designed and analyzed based on site-specific climatic and hydraulic conditions, including a daily water demand of 104 m³ and a total dynamic head of 160 m. The system configuration consists of a 4.2 kWp PV array (21 modules), a submersible pump (PS4000 C-SJ8-15), and an MPPT-based controller. Simulation results indicate that the system can reliably meet the required water demand under local solar irradiance conditions (~5.5 kWh/m²/day), achieving an overall system efficiency of 38.89%. Comparative analysis suggests that, despite higher initial capital costs, the solar-powered system offers significant long-term economic advantages due to near-zero operating costs, with an estimated payback period of 3–4 years. The findings demonstrate that solar PV water pumping is a viable and sustainable solution for high-head irrigation in semi-arid regions such as Damascus, with strong potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and improve agricultural resilience.

Abstract

The global energy transition, driven by the imperatives of climate change mitigation and the pursuit of Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7), is particularly significant for developing nations in West Africa. This review article synthesizes and critically analyzes the literature on renewable energy policy adoption and implementation in Nigeria and Ghana, two nations with abundant solar, wind, and hydropower resources. The analysis reveals a central thesis: while both countries are committed to a sustainable energy transition, their progress is dictated by divergent institutional, financial, and technical factors. Ghana's more cohesive policy framework and proactive grid upgrades have enabled a higher renewable energy share and more effective project deployment, but it is still constrained by financial and enforcement gaps. In contrast, Nigeria's vast renewable energy potential is significantly underutilized due to a fragmented regulatory framework, underinvestment, and systemic infrastructure deficiencies. This review identifies key research and policy gaps, including the absence of detailed long-term socio-economic modeling and in-depth analysis of tailored financial mechanisms.
