Solar-powered irrigation and watering
Solar-powered irrigation solution can provide reliable, costeffective and environmentally sustainable energy for decentralised irrigation services in a growing number of settings. When deployed, the benefits include improved livelihoods (increased productivity and incomes, and food security), increased social welfare (poverty alleviation, emissions reduction) and reduced spending on fossil fuel subsidies and centralised infrastructure.
Within the broad spectrum of solutions, solar-powered irrigation has gained prominence lately. While solar pumping technology has been deployed for decades, recent cost reductions and increasing awareness of the potential benefits of this technology, has compelled a growing number of countries to launch programmes to accelerate its deployment. The private sector is showing a keen interest since the application of solar-based power is emerging as the preferred solution due to its predictability in supply, scalability and zero-fuel input.
