Knowledge fuels change - Support energypedia!
For over 10 years, energypedia has been connecting energy experts around the world — helping them share knowledge, learn from each other, and accelerate the global energy transition.
Today, we ask for your support to keep this platform free and accessible to all.
Even a small contribution makes a big difference! If just 10–20% of our 60,000+ monthly visitors donated the equivalent of a cup of coffee — €5 — Energypedia would be fully funded for a whole year.
Is the knowledge you’ve gained through Energypedia this year worth €5 or more?
Your donation keeps the platform running, helps us create new knowledge products, and contributes directly to achieving SDG 7.
Thank you for your support, your donation, big or small, truly matters!

Project description
Water pumps play a crucial role in the irrigation market. The widely used electric pumpshowever suffer from low power availability and low voltage. Diesel powered water pumpsare therefore widely deployed to compensate for the shortcomings of electric pumps, but areexpensive to run, and polluting. Solar Water Pumps (SWP) can become a viable solution ifthe challenges of high purchase cost, financing and economic viability can be addressed.Because the economic efficiency of a SWP is directly related to its utilization rate, adoptingan inclusive-ecosystem based approach can be a promising solution to address theeconomic viability of SWPs.
