Solar energy is a clean and renewable technology with significant potential for sustainable electricity generation. This study investigates the design, optimization, and feasibility of solar grid systems for pumping stations in Central Asia, where high solar insolation and available land provide ideal conditions. The main components of the solar power plant — photovoltaic panels, inverters, batteries, and control systems — were analyzed for optimal configuration and placement. Experimental studies on two-layer and three-layer solar cells demonstrated efficiency improvements of up to 30% and 40%, respectively, highlighting the potential for enhanced energy output. The operating point of photovoltaic panels was determined by intersecting volt-ampere characteristics with load conditions to maximize performance. A comprehensive feasibility assessment was conducted, considering energy generation, reliability, and economic aspects, including cost-effectiveness and payback period. The findings indicate that solar grid systems can provide a reliable, environmentally friendly solution for pumping stations, contributing to regional energy security and sustainable development. This research supports the large-scale implementation of solar energy in Central Asia and provides practical guidance for optimizing system performance and investment efficiency.
