Overview

  • 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
    quality of installations and maintenance at the counties
  • Security is a concern which often leads to more portable module configurations
    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
    around SWP technologies available in the market. Retailers are doing this
    through their after sales support
