Solar Canal System
Abstract: The solar conduit system combines photovoltaic( PV) panels with irrigation conduits to cause renewable energy and prevent water wastage. It minimizes evaporation by shading the conduit face, primarily in parched and semi-arid areas. This dual- use strategy improves land- use efficiency without compromising on greenfield land. Solar panel shading restricts sunlight exposure, inhibiting algae growth in the conduit water. Reduced water temperature due to shading could benefit submarine ecosystems. The system accommodates both clean energy pretences and sustainable agrarian behaviours. Optimization of design enhances energy affair and water saving performance. One of the most prosperous sources of future renewable energy is solar energy. The solar energy can be removed by a PV system. there are many designs for PV installation that are executed, such as rooftop PV systems, levee top PV systems, floating PV, conduit top PV systems, etc. In the conduit top system, PV panels are installed over the water conduit, which conserves installation area and minimizes evaporation loss. The efficiency of any PV system relies significantly on the intensity of light, and hence by implementing a concentrating PV system power affair can be maximized. The operation of a concentrated PV system can decrease the cost of investment per kWh. The design reflects a sustainable outcome that favours both clean energy pretences and farming water operation. The paper discusses the design, practicability, energy business, and ecological advantages of imposing solar conduit systems.
