Solar Pumping: Supplying Elevated Communities from RO Plants

A key application of solar power in Cabo Verde is the use of solar pumping systems to address both the water scarcity and the rugged, elevated terrain. These systems are vital for transporting water efficiently to communities situated at higher altitudes.

Lifting Water to Higher Ground: We utilize the sun’s energy to power high-head pumps that efficiently lift water from the production sites—specifically the Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination plants located near the coast—to storage reservoirs and distribution networks in elevated communities.

Overcoming Elevation: This method is crucial for overcoming the significant elevation challenges posed by Cabo Verde’s volcanic islands. It ensures that even remote settlements on higher terrain have reliable access to potable water.

Benefit for Local Water Providers

The local water utility companies benefit directly from our experience in developing and implementing these integrated water and energy solutions.

They rely on our expertise to modernize their infrastructure, improve efficiency, and ensure the reliability and sustainability of water supply across the islands.
