Abstract
In rural areas, the electricity supply is affected by problems such as low quality and limited access in some regions. The use of renewable sources, with decentralized generation, can offer an alternative to the existing scenario. The objective of this work is to perform a technical and economic analysis of off-grid photovoltaic systems, without energy storage, intended for irrigation. Photovoltaic systems from different irrigation systems were sized, with power ratings from 0.736 to 29.44 kW. Their technical feasibility was determined based on the energy supply period and the availability of solar radiation as restriction variables. Economic feasibility was determined by the indicators of net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), benefit/cost ratio (B/C) and profitability index (PI). Feasible operation was found for irrigation systems with motors up to 11.04 kW; however, for systems that required higher powers, the number of operating hours available was less than
