AN EXPERIMENTAL OPTIMIZATION STUDY OF A PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR PUMPING SYSTEM USED FOR SOLAR DOMESTIC HOT WATER SYSTEM UNDER IRAQI CLIMATE

The performance of a photovoltaic solar water pumping system (PVSWPS) promising in heating has been studied experimentally. design array configuration can affect the (PVSWPS), pump characteristic, flow rate and overall efficiency. aim present work is to determine an optimum that supply with optimal amount energy. Three different configurations have tested (4S, 2S ×2P 4P). experiments carried out sunny day, light hours under conditions Iraq climate for constant head level 6m. results showed second (2P × 2S) suitable provide Also, powered delivered maximum average volume (2.298 m3) during day among three configurations.
