Suitability mapping framework for solar photovoltaic pumps for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa
This report outlines a business model approach to assessing the feasibility and for encouraging investment in smallholder solar pump irrigation. It also proposes a new methodology for mapping the suitability of solar energy-based irrigation pumps. The proposed business model framework and the met...
