How it works

Right-sized energy for real community use

  • Assess energy demand for water pumping, irrigation, drying, cooking, lighting, and enterprises.
  • Model system size, operating costs, maintenance needs, safety, and expected performance.
  • Install or demonstrate solar pumps, dryers, clean cooking, biogas, and efficient systems.
  • Train users and youth technicians while tracking uptime, savings, adoption, and repairs.
Solar pumps, clean cooking, energy modeling, and youth renewable-energy skills training
