Today, the importance of energy cost and efficiency is gradually increase. The decrease in drinking water and agricultural water resources, increases the interest in drip irrigation systems in agricultural irrigation. Environmentally friendly photovoltaic drip irrigation systems (PVDIS) are the appropriate solution in regions where there is no electricity distribution network, where it is far away, or where power cuts are frequently. This study is carried out in the Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan. Regional climate data obtained from Climwat 2.0 software are processed in Cropwat 8.0 software. Crops that are both the source of livelihood of the people of the region and that can be used in this study have been determined. Annual and daily water needs are analyzed so that these crops are irrigated every seven days. A system is designed by taking the data of the crop with the highest water requirement as a reference. The drip irrigation system is set up in a PVsyst 7.1.7 simulation environment to pump 114.24 m3 of water daily from a 5-meter-deep river with a 1.8 kW photovoltaic system. The efficiency of the system is 58.7% and the efficiency of the pump is 34.5%. Crop water need is met at the rate of 98.87%. It is predicted that the designed and analyzed PVDIS will provide efficiency in energy and water resources.
