Map shows 43% of Iran's land unsuitable for PV-powered water pumps

Scientists used geographic information systems and analytical hierarchy process methods to identify Iran's most suitable areas for PV water pumping systems. They found 43. 2% of land unsuitable, with Ardabil province the most favorable. Researchers from Germany's RWTH Aachen University and Iran's University of Tehran have proposed a novel methodology to identify suitable locations for implementing PV water pumping systems (PVWPS). The methodology uses a geographic information system (GIS) and an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and was demonstrated on the case of Iran. "Our study introduces ...
