the stand alone photovoltaic pumping system (PVPS) is an appropriate solution to supply water for domestic, livestock and irrigation in remote locations. Also, supply water with solar panel allows reducing CO2 emission and protecting environment. This paper presents a theoretical study of the effectiveness of water supply with photovoltaic panels, at the protection of environment compared with the pumping systems driven by diesel generator. The studied PV water pumping system consists of a photovoltaic generator, DC-DC boost converter, DC motor, centrifugal pump and a storage tank.
