This is an illustrative sample project showing a typical Sunskey solution. Figures are indicative.
The challenge
The farm spent heavily on diesel to pump water for drip irrigation, and pump breakdowns put crops at risk during dry spells.
Our solution
We sized a solar array and submersible pump to the borehole yield and daily irrigation demand, with an elevated tank providing gravity-fed water beyond sunlight hours.
The outcome
Pumping fuel costs have been eliminated and the farm has a dependable daily water supply for its crops.
