 '''Micro-Solar Utilities for Small-Scale Irrigation in Senegal: '''[http://www.earth.columbia.edu/sections/view/9 Earth Institute’s] solution will enable a small group of farmers to use a central [[Solar Energy|solar energy]] unit to power multiple AC pumps for irrigation. The proposed solution takes advantage of the benefits of solar without the high costs associated with DC-powered pumps and battery storage. This power will be accessed by farmers with prepaid electricity cards issued by a micro-utility, and sold through local vendors who will benefit from a small commission. Recognizing that a major obstacle to technology adoption is [[Portal:Financing and Funding|financing]], a tariff-based financing model will allow customers to cover their appliance loans in small payments added into their micro-utility bills.<br/>

 Among the renewables, solar Photovoltaic (PV) is often the most attractive option. It features a near-absence of running costs, little maintenance requirements and ease of use. In terms of CO2 emissions, an off-grid solar pumping system that replaces a typical diesel generator unit will save about 1 kg of CO2 per kilowatt-hour of output (GIZ, forthcoming). Due to falling costs for the components necessary for a PV pump, the renewable powered systems have become increasingly attractive from an economic perspective. However, many farmers in remote areas of the world do not know of these advantages of solar powered pumps, or if they do, non-technical barriers such as access to finance hinder an increased adoption of the systems.<br/>
