Why Solar Water Pumps Are Transforming Mali's Agriculture
Farmers and rural communities in Mali are increasingly turning to solar water pumps to combat water scarcity and reduce energy costs. With abundant sunlight and growing government support, these systems offer a sustainable alternative to diesel-powered pumps. But how much does a solar water pump cost in Mali? Let's break it down.
Key Factors Affecting Solar Pump Prices
- Pump Capacity: Small systems (1-3 HP) cost $1,200-$3,500, while larger setups (5+ HP) range from $4,500-$12,000.
- Solar Panels: High-efficiency panels add 20-30% to upfront costs but improve long-term ROI.
- Battery Storage: Optional battery backups increase prices by $800-$2,000.
- Installation & Maintenance: Labor costs vary between $200-$600 depending on project complexity.
