Farmers expectations of the solar pumps were generally met
Most farmers intend to expand their farms due to the improved water access,
reliability and reduced energy costs
There is need for local capacity building at technician level to improve the

i.e temporary module installations placed in the dirt.
Purchase power continues to be the main barrier to acquisition of solar pumps.
The farmers are open to credit options; this will further grow the solar water
pump market
There’s need to further increase farmers awareness and build confidence

through their after sales support
