Water on the farm's schedule, not the rain's.

Solar-powered irrigation that eliminates fuel costs, beats unreliable grid power, and delivers water independence wherever the farm is.

Overview

Water when the crop needs it, not when the rain decides.

Reliable water access is one of the biggest constraints facing Kenyan farmers. Solar-powered irrigation works even in remote locations with no grid connection.

Harnessing the sun removes dependence on diesel pumps and unreliable grid electricity — the farm gets water when it needs it, with zero ongoing fuel cost.

From drip systems for vegetables to sprinklers for larger fields, systems are sized and installed to the farm's specific acreage and crop.

Why solar irrigation

Benefits that show up in the next season's numbers.

80% cost reduction

Diesel and electricity bills stop. Solar power is free after installation, saving thousands of shillings every season.

Energy independence

No dependence on unreliable grid power or fuel deliveries. Irrigation runs on sunshine, available every day.

Lower emissions

Each system displaces multiple tonnes of CO₂ a year compared to the diesel pump it replaces.

Year-round farming

Grow through dry spells and off-seasons instead of waiting on rainfall, unlocking multiple harvests a year.

Long-term reliability

25-year panel lifespan, 2-year maintenance support, and locally available spare parts.

Water efficiency

Drip and precision delivery cut water use by up to 60%, protecting scarce water resources while keeping crops healthy.

Success story
"Before installing Agrotech Plus's solar irrigation, I could only farm during rainy seasons. Now I grow year-round and my income has doubled. I've hired two people from the village."
