Solar Desalination System Boosts Crop Yields for Antigua’s Farmers

Challenge

Farmers on the island of Antigua faced a significant challenge: the island’s natural water sources were poorly suited for irrigation. They had to rely on a saline river pond with brackish water, which severely limited crop growth due to poor water quality.

Solution

Our automatic, reliable solar desalination system proved to be the most sustainable and effective solution. The SolarRO BW 30 reverse osmosis system offers a cost-effective, off-grid method for continuous freshwater production. It delivers between 7 and 9 cubic meters of clean water daily, ensuring farmers have a dependable and sustainable water supply for irrigation.

Impact

A consistent source of high-quality irrigation water has led to increased crop yields, improved food security, and a boost to the local economy. With fresh produce now available for sale at local markets, farmers can expand their businesses while relying on renewable energy – eliminating the need for expensive fuel or electricity.

Our solar-powered desalination technology is scalable, eco-friendly, and economically viable, making it an ideal solution for agricultural communities facing water scarcity.
