Abstract

Solar energy is considered as one of the cleanest forms of energy sources. Meanwhile, many studies have used solar power for water pumping, which is an economically attractive solar energy application since the year of 1615. To better understand the history of the development of solar energy irrigation, a bibliometric analysis of publications on solar energy pumping research from 1956 to 2015 in the sci-direct database is presented here. The analysis informs of the growing trends and indicates that “water”, “solar”, and “soil” are hot topics of research on solar energy irrigation during this period. The language of the publications, publication output, journal distribution, countries and territories of these publications, hot topics and highly cited papers have been assessed. The top 10 countries/territories were ranked according to their total number of articles (TA), single country articles (SCA), internationally collaborative articles (ICA) and first author articles (FAA). Meanwhile, the processes of solar energy installations for pumping irrigation water can be divided into three stages, including photo-thermal conversion stage, solar energy-thermal-electric power conversion stage and photovoltaic conversion stage.
