Sažetak
Modern agriculture, orcharding, gardening, as well as the use of grassy sports fields cannot be realized without irrigation. Such a procedure requires water and energy resources. Water resources define even consideration for the possibility of irrigation, while energy source is the second task which must be satisfied. Nowadays, using renewable energy sources for irrigation is a very promising solution, despite the still extensive use of fossil fuels. Application of the solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is a very promising solution, due to the availability of insolation and its overlapping with water needs for the plant growing. PV energy could be implied in isolated and remote locations and islands, as well as in desert areas. This paper will give insight into the actual “state of the art” of using solar photovoltaic energy for the purpose of the irrigation.
