Aquifer conditions, not irradiance determine the potential of photovoltaic energy for groundwater pumping across Africa
Over much of Africa, the potential for groundwater pumping with the help of photovoltaic energy is constrained by aquifer conditions, and not irradiance, according to continent-wide simulations to map the performance of photovoltaic water pumping systems.
