Abstract

This research is fulfilled in Al-Raed Research Station, that is situated on the main road of Baghdad-Anbar through conducting an experiment which was conducted during the winter season of 2022-2023 so as to determining the influence of the kind of solar panels, watering systems (irrigation), and distances between planting lines on the yield of beans (Vicia Faba… L). Three replications of a randomised complete block design (RCBD) were employed. There are three components to the experiment. The solar panel type—mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline—was the first factor. The drip and sprinkler irrigation system, which has two levels, was the second component. The distances (40, 60, and 80 cm) between the sub-lines with three levels constituted the third factor. The subsequent metrices were examined: solar panel efficiency (%), Amount of irrigation water used (m3. season-1), Consistency coefficient (homogeneity) (%), Germination percentage (%), The outcomes indicate that monocrystalline solar panels fulfilled the best of these signs: efficiency  of solar panel, consistency coefficient (homogeneity), and germination rate with the least amount of irrigation water used during the season (24.74%) (93.42%) (90.40%) (3.927 m3. season-1), respectively. Additionally, the drip watering technique produced the best results for solar panel efficiency, consistency coefficient, and germination percentage, with the lowest amount of water for irrigation (22.23%) (92.93%) (95.90%) (3.00 m3. season-1), to arrange. Furthermore, the distance (40 cm) achieved the ultimate values of coefficient of uniformity and the germination percentage with the least amount of irrigation water used during the season (92.05%) (95.10%) (3.05 m3. season-1), respectively. Further research should explore the long-term impacts of integrating mono-crystalline solar panels with drip irrigation across various crops and environmental conditions.
