Basically, it is meant for agriculture purposes.The system is powered by solar system as a renewable energy which uses solar panel module to convert Sunlight into electricity. Solar irrigation system is defined as a system that distributes water to targeted area using solar energy. This makes the use of solar energy sources vital to the development of our country’s agricultural sector. High CO2 emissions, immense diesel spills into the soil and risky long distance transportation of diesel to the farms are just a few ecological downsides of diesel operated water pumps. At the same time, Nigeria’s exporters lose competitiveness in the international market due to crop losses that were caused by lack of irrigation. Taking into account the costs of transportation of diesel, maintenance and overhauling of generators, using diesel will no longer be economically feasible or affordable for those farms in the near future. Moreover, the use of diesel fuel is also more expensive in the “new lands” due to the remoteness of desert farms. Costs of diesel for irrigation systems are increasing sharply due to the lack of availability of diesel in the markets.
