SolarOn!, a solar energy company in Mozambique and Malawi, is leading the way in sustainable inputs for agriculture by making investments into solar powered water pumps for irrigation.
At the forefront of their push for environmentally friendly growth for farmers is the partnership with Futurepump – a leading manufacturer of solar powered pumps for small-scale farming.
Designed, tested, and manufactured in India, Futurepump solar pumps are low-cost, versatile, and high-quality. They are compatible with hosepipes, drip and mist irrigation and sprinklers. They are surface water pumps, suitable for pumping from shallow wells, rivers, streams or lakes making them ideal for making efficient use of Mozambique and Malawi’s extensive surface water resources.
All Futurepump solar pumps are simple to set up, with suction hoses and solar panels included, but what really sets them apart is the manufacturer backed 10-year warranty. All spares and repairs over the 10 years after purchase are free of charge, meaning reliability and assurance of supply for a decade.
Helen Yapp, Managing Director at Futurepump said “We firmly believe that if you’ve invested in a technology, you should be able to use it for years to come, through quality design and manufacturing, and simple servicing. It is appalling to us that so many products are designed to be ‘throwaway’ and we want to lead the way in making reparability what consumers look for.”
SolarOn! is on a mission to improve the lives of people and have impacted close to one million lives across Southern Africa through solar lanterns, home systems and large systems for businesses. Now the company is responding to a clear market need and also supporting farmers with irrigation.
SolarOn! believes that local farmers deserve a cheaper, cleaner and sustainable option for moving water on their farms. Offering a variety of payment options, the company is driving forward a reliable solution whilst also eliminating an expensive dependency to petrol or diesel pumps.
