Winrock implemented USAID funded Accelerated Commercialization Solar Photovoltaic Water pumping (AC-PVWP) project. Under this project,
Using a field-experimental design combining performance monitoring and lifecycle cost modelling, this study assesses a solar photovoltaic water pumping system implemented in
Water entrepreneurship can drive solar irrigation and climate mitigation in Nepal Small solar pumps help individual farmers, but larger systems that serve collective fields could drive uptake
Solar Lift Irrigation (SLI) presents a sustainable and climate-resilient solution to Nepal''s water and energy challenges. By harnessing solar power to pump water from lower-lying rivers and streams,
Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) and Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) are the main project partners for the SoLAR-SA project in Nepal. This report presents a synthesis of Nepal''s solar
By promoting solar-powered irrigation (SPI), governments around the world are aiming to make agriculture more sustainable, reduce carbon emissions, adapt to climate change, and foster rural
The mid-hills of Nepal account for 68% of the country''s total area and 56% of its arable land. Ranging in altitude from 610m to 4,876m, there are many small pockets of micro
Solar-powered irrigation pumps are a vital tool for both climate change adaptation and mitigation. Since most developing countries cannot fully utilize large-scale global funds for climate
Using a field-experimental design com-bining performance monitoring and lifecycle cost modelling, this study assesses a solar photovoltaic water pumping system implemented in Kanchanpur, Nepal.

Similarly, Upadhyay (2004), in her study on gender and small-irrigation technologies in Nepal, reveals that the adoption of simple irrigation technologies like drip kits helped alleviate the
This issue brief presents lessons from Nepal''s first grid-connected Solar Irrigation Pump (SIP) pilot in Chhipaharmai Rural Municipality, Parsa. The initiative integrated eight off-grid SIPs into a 20 kWp
Solar mini-grid systems have become a cleaner, cheaper, and swifter viable alternative to large hydropower-based central grid expansion in the country. At present, solar mini-grid systems use
It will examine both successful and unsuccessful solar lift irrigation projects funded by government programs to identify the key factors that enable or hinder their implementation.
Nepal presents a compelling case study due to its challenging terrain and low-income rural development context. The study is guided by two primary objectives: first, to identify the critical factors influencing
It is with great pleasure and a sense of shared accomplishment that we present the detailed feasibility study (DFS) framework for renewable energy-based irrigation systems in Nepal, developed in
This paper set out to assess two central dimensions of Nepal''s solar irrigation program: how subsidies are delivered and accessed and how utilization patterns are shaped once systems are
Compared to other alter-natives diesel and grid-electric systems, solar demonstrated superior lifecycle benefits, lower unit costs, and zero emissions. Solar irrigation found a technically feasible and
