6 FAQs about Solar photovoltaic irrigation system installation in Namibia

Can a solar irrigation system be used for commercial agriculture in Namibia?

Implementing a solar irrigation system will directly address the problem of inconsistent water supply to most farms in Namibia, which results in poor crop yield and invariably, food insecurity. There is a gap in the literature that exists on the use of solar irrigation systems for commercial agriculture in Namibia.

What is solar photovoltaic irrigation?

The irrigation system uses solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies to pump water for irrigation. Crops will be put under cultivation and water will be supplied by two irrigation systems; drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation.

Does NEC offer solar energy in Namibia?

Solar energy is a free energy source and will never disappear. Therefore, NEC has been promoting solar energy since the early 1970s and offers solar system in Namibia. NEC Energy for solar water heater systems used in domestic and / or commercial applications as well as solar PV systems to generate electricity for various applications.

What is mobile solar powered irrigation?

The mobile solar powered irrigation system serves a benchmark for farmers in Namibia and beyond. By embracing solar energy, farmers can unlock tremendous potential for sustainable growth and contribute to a greener and more prosperous future for all.

What is a solar irrigation system?

Preliminary work was completed on five-hectares of Farm Lynkloof, Namibia in preparation to install a solar irrigation system. The irrigation system uses solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies to pump water for irrigation.

How has solar energy impacted innovation in Namibia?

As the solar sector continues to grow in Namibia, innovation has also capitalised on this growth. Mungongi Agricultural Project, located just 500 metres from the Kavango River, in Musese village, Kavango West region, is one of the first few agriculture projects in Namibia to explore innovation with solar energy irrigation.
