- Solar Pumps for Low Income Farmers (Christian Science Monitor)
"What if we could find a way to cut the cost of a 2-kilowatt solar pump system from$7,000 to $2,500? And what if we added a $1,400, 2.5-acre low-cost drip system and used the solar pump/drip system to grow 2.5 acres of diversified off-season fruits, vegetables, and spices? If done correctly, farmers could clear at least $4,500."
"That’s enough to make payments on a three-year loan or lease and make a profit." 06-13
