How can I power irrigation pumps at night with solar energy?
Engineering answer
A photovoltaic system alone may not be enough when irrigation is mainly nocturnal. The correct decision is to size storage around the real irrigation profile and critical loads. In the Foggia case, storage was added because summer irrigation required energy after sunset.
Request a load-profile assessment for irrigation and storage sizing.
