Compared to conventional energy systems, the use of solar energy has some specific characteristics, which must
be considered when planning a Solar Powered Irrigation System (see DESIGNmodule). The following steps describe in detail the available configurations and individual system components of an SPIS operating
under constantly varying conditions due to daily and seasonal fluctuations. The description of the individual
components of an SPIS and the relations between them are preceded by information on the basics of solar energy and irrigation. When solar energy and irrigation are combined in one production system we call this a Solar Powered
Irrigation System. Typical configurations of SPIS are presented in this module and in the DESIGN module.
