Sprinklers run on 24v DC. I don't see any advantage of using solar
power
Unless you're off the grid.

Where does the water come from if you are off the grid?

Plenty of people have their own wells.

In many countries, power outages are a daily fact of life. In the US, many
people who live on farm lands, lose power everytime it rains.

A buddy of mine grew up on a ranch, every major storm they'd lose power for
a few days because the utilities fixed the power problems in the city first.
They'd run the generator for a few hours to power the well pump and a few
lights and stuff around the house, the hot water heater and the cooking was
all on propane, the house was heated by a wood stove. Septic system took
care of the sewer.
