Davis Shirtliff is betting on solar-powered water pumps priced from Sh50,000 to connect more rural homes to clean water without depending on electricity.

Davis Shirtliff chairman Alec Davis says the solar-powered pumps eliminate operating costs that are associated with running diesel and electric powered generators.

“Benefits of this new solution are huge with capital costs of the pumps being lower than traditional hand pumps and providing totally cost and maintenance free operation – systems simply start with the sun and pump all day,” said Mr Davis.

Standard range solar pumps provide outputs of up to 12,000 litres per day, meaning that a single installation can support several households depending on their daily water-usage levels.
