POWER
Solar + reclaimed Li-ion
STATUS
Deployed with farmers
Smallholder farmers across East Africa struggle to access reliable irrigation, which locks them out of year-round growing and steady income.
We built a solar pump irrigation system with pay-as-you-go financing that makes it reachable for farmers with limited capital, pairing sustainable technology with flexible payment.
By replacing diesel pumps with solar and building battery packs from reclaimed lithium-ion cells, the solution raises productivity while cutting both cost and environmental impact.
02 / How we built it
From brief to field.

Needs assessment
Identified the irrigation challenges smallholder farmers actually face on the ground.
02
Solar pump design
Developed an efficient solar pump system capable of supporting year-round farming.
03
Payment solutions
Implemented pay-as-you-go and scheduled payments to make the system affordable.
04
Sustainability
Built battery packs from lithium-ion cells reclaimed from electronic waste.
03 / Key components
