Solar irrigation pumps can offer a reliable, clean source of energy—yet in #India many systems are used only part of the year. Our study with @oorjasolutions looks at opportunities to use spare clean energy to power rural mills & tackle energy poverty. ➡️ iisd.org/publications/report…

Thanks @Acumen for featuring our irrigation-as-a-service model and your unwavering support in scaling it.
For years, farmers in India relied on expensive, polluting diesel pumps to irrigate their fields. Now, 25K+ are growing more, earning more, and farming sustainably thanks to @oorjasolutions’ shared solar pumps and pay-per-use model.
