Making solar irrigation affordable
Four cooperatives accessed productive solar infrastructure through harvest-cycle financing with no large upfront payment.
Upfront capital costs can keep productive infrastructure out of reach even when the long-term operating case is strong.
The approach
Cooperative financing aligned system access with the harvest cycle, allowing participating groups to begin using the infrastructure before completing repayment.
The result
Four cooperatives accessed solar irrigation with repayment structured against future settlement rather than a rigid monthly schedule.
