Abstract: The modernization process in irrigation has generated a higher energy demand. Due to this problem, the ongoing increase in energy tariffs, and the reduction in manufacturing costs of photovoltaic (PV) panels, there has been an increased use of renewable energies, such as PV energy, to power the pumping equipment involved in pressurized irrigation.
