The Sunflower Solar Pump is a simple renewable-powered irrigation device with the potential to displace millions of fossil fuel irrigation pumps globally. For farmers who are irrigating manually or not at all and for small commercial farmers looking for alternatives to expensive fossil fuel pumps it offers a compelling economic case.

Purpose

To build a distribution network for the Sunflower Solar Pump in Kenya and to launch a pilot dissemination in Burkina Faso
