ABOUT SOLAR-BASED IRRIGATION


Key findings were that solar-based irrigation solutions require market- building efforts to exploit their full potential. Creating a sustainable and equitable market for new farming technologies in rural off-grid regions requires concerted efforts across a number of fronts: • Raising farmer awareness of the potential of solar irrigation


• Addressing system affordability through subsidies and third-party financing


• Building the capacity of farmers to use solar irrigation systems


• Working with suppliers to identify best-performing systems


• Creating new distribution channels and delivery models


• Strengthening links between farmers and offtakers


• Improving the accessibility of government subsidy schemes


• Creating favorable policy and regulatory frameworks; and


• Ensuring the participation of women agricultural workers.
