The need
The agriculture industry faces huge energy costs for water pumping. Adapting the pumps is costly; PV provides an alternative, however pumps face challenges in adapting to a variable power generation source. Batteries are expensive, and grid-backed systems offer limited energy savings.
The solution
SolaQua’s proprietary solution focuses on power electronics, narrowing the gap between large PV installations and irrigation systems. It enables working while disconnected from the grid at expensive tariff periods. An innovative business model facilitates the financing of PV-powered irrigation projects by banks and investors; solar-powered irrigation systems (SPVs) connect all stakeholders through long-term purchasing agreements, removing the need for initial investment by customers.
