As investment, costs for the systems are decreasing and government subsidy schemes are being rolled out, solar technologies are becoming a viable option for both large and small-scale farmers. Solar-powered irrigation systems provide reliable and affordable energy and potentially reduce energy costs for irrigation. In rural areas without reliable access to electricity and/or diesel fuel, as well as in humanitarian crisis situations, these systems can provide a relatively flexible and climate-friendly alternative energy source. In humanitarian contexts in particular, solar pumps can enable people to access water locally and to support food security. During an international workshop held in May 2015, the idea emerged of a joint project aimed at synthesizing experiences with solar-powered irrigation systems around the world and ensuring greater understanding of policy implications for the sustainable use of this technology.
