Sumario:[EN] The concern about sustainability and energy efficiency has driven to the use of solar energy to drive pumps used for irrigation. The solar energy generated by the solar panels varies over time, so it is necessary to adjust the operation of the pumps to adapt to the available energy. This work proposes a methodology based on the affinity laws for pumps without simplifications to optimize the number of pumps working at each hour and the number of solar panels. The use of the homology hypothesis shows that the installed power might be insufficient in some cases. The proposed methodology provides adequate designs in all cases. Finally, the article presents a case study to show the suitability of the method for a pumping station to a reservoir. A basic viability study has been carried out, resulting in a return period for investment of about seven years.
