dc.description.abstractPalestine is dependent on external sources of energy to cover its demands due to several reasons. When studying the case of Palestine’s energy, it’s essential to take into consideration that nearly all energy comes from neighboring countries, and with the Israeli Military control over the West Bank and blockage on Gaza Strip the problem gets bigger. All fossil fuels used in Palestine comes from Israel, and nearly all electricity comes from IEC (Israeli Electrical Company) with little contribution from Egypt and Jordan. This research is dedicated to investigating the need of using Renewable Energy (RE) as a solution to the Palestine’s dependency problem, with high average of sunshine days to gain great amount of Solar Energy (SE). The specific application studied is powering the agricultural pumps used to get water from underground level and distribute it to an irrigation system, since agriculture is one of the most important sectors in Palestinian economics. Accordingly, a critical investigation of the essential wells to implement solar photovoltaic (PV) powering system in Tulkarem District is given. Powering agricultural projects with SE shall reach rural areas and reduce the cost– since these pumps are high-consuming energy machines, save more energy to use in other sectors and limit the influence of occupation on the Palestinian land. In other words, work towards an energy-independent state. The results of the project concluded to designing a full Solar PV system covering up around 50% of high-consuming energy wells’ pumps. The pumps are 250 hp and 150 hp. All design details regarding solar characteristics of the area, locations of both the well and the project and all other needed details. The system consists mainly of 517 Jinko PV Solar Cells with a payback period of around 2.5 years.en_US
