英文摘要	Several areas are experiencing local water shortages and are now using desalination devices to mitigate its effect. In this study, an equation is proposed to estimate the production unit cost of reverse osmosis (RO) powered by a photovoltaic (PV) system based on current PV-RO module prices used to determine the economic feasibility of the system. PV-RO for agriculture in the coastal area of Dyiar-Al-Hujjej. This study area suffers from seawater intrusion and is also threatened by the salinization of the soil due to irrigation. The results show as expected that the price increases from 1.02 to 2.12 US $/m(3) for 3,000 and 9,000 ppm respectively, as the salinity of the feed water increases. For crop selection, high-value crops and crops with low water requirements are the two main criteria to consider. Strawberry is the best choice with a positive return on investment of 237%, 120%, and 60%, respectively, for 3,000, 6,000 and 9,000 ppm, unlike other crops that still have a negative return on investment. Increasing needs to meet the demand for water in agriculture harms the economy of the PV-RO system.
