This work presents results of field research in ressarce various localities of the Brazilian semiarid region, where PV pumping systems (PVPSs) are installed. Through on-site observation, questionnaires and interviews with leaders and usuries, we collected data related to the operation and management of these systems. Based on these data, this article aims to show the main obstacles to the success of PVPSs installed in this region. In addition, using the literature on similar projects implemented in various countries, we discuss possible ways to overcome these barriers. Therefore, it was found that the initiatives carried out in the Brazilian semiarid did not provide adequate conditions for a wide dissemination of PVPSs due to flaws in the institutional arrangements forimplementation and management, especially for not considering ways to allow the autonomy of these communities after leaving of intervening agents.
