SolaQua’s proprietary solution focuses on power electronics management, narrowing the gap between large PV installations and irrigation systems. An innovative business model facilitates the financing of PV powered irrigation projects by banks and investors. An advantage of the system is the creation of separate legal entities (SPVs) that connect all stakeholders and sources of finance through long-term purchasing agreements, without initial investment required by customers.
