Solar water pumping system is a practical and necessary solution for rural areas far from the public electricity grid. There are many studies on solar water pumping systems, but what distinguishes this research is that it provides a modeling and simulation of the control circuit of a water pump driven by a three-phase induction motor (IM) fed from photovoltaic panels so that the induction speed is controlled by the motor from the moment of starting Turn it on at sunrise to the moment it stopped at sunset, so that the frequency changes from (0 Hz) to (50 Hz) depending on the change of radiation and temperature in proportion to the motor's input voltage, so that the ratio (V/F) remains constant, using Control algorithm variable frequency drive (VFD),also was used efficient of solar energy by operating Photovoltaic (PV) panels at maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for powering the water pump. Thise circuit is simulated using MATLAB.
