Davis & Shirtliff has commenced the installation of a variety of solar-powered water pumps in rural Kenya to connect poor households with reliable water supply.
The low-powered solar pumps dubbed, Dayliff Sunflo, are available complete kits that include the PV modules, pump and all equipment for an entire installation. Power requirements for these pumps are as little as 150W.
เกจวัดแรงดันco2 & Shirtliff Chairman, Mr. Alec Davis stated water entry challenges have been compounded by an over-supply of costly diesel and electrical powered generators and pumps that remain out of reach for the agricultural inhabitants.
