It is understood that the solar water diversion system (SWTI) for irrigation has introduced many new technologies in the development process and has obtained a number of patents. It integrates four functions of agricultural irrigation, solar power generation, water gravity tracking and self-cleaning photovoltaic panels, and has broad application prospects.
China Power Construction Corporation of China Power Zhongnan Engineering Company was founded in 1949, headquartered in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is an important member of the world's top 500 companies, China Electric Power Construction Corporation.
ExtenSolar Renewable energy Is a national high-tech company dedicated to providing different types of support solutions to global PV plant investors, general contractors and installers. The company's business scope includes support design, site survey, professional testing, mechanical verification, product supply, installation guide, etc.
The system has the following design points:
The integrated systems of irrigation waterways and solar photovoltaic power generation are integrated with the functions of agricultural irrigation and photovoltaic power generation.
The tracker is equipped with a counterweight water tank, and the irrigation system's water supply pipe is used to provide water, drive the rotation of the photovoltaic plate, and realize the solar tracking function.
The top of the photovoltaic panel is fitted with a cleaning pipe that can spray water on the photovoltaic panel for a specified period of time to clean up dust and improve power generation efficiency.
The tracker is driven by water gravity and existing water supply system lines can be used for agricultural irrigation.
