Namibia - Startup under 3 years old

Describe your project or startup in a few words

Replacement of diesel mono/ windmills with solar pumping systems. Incorporating diesel generators with solar pumping systems in one borehole to avoid conflict amongst the community and allow sustainable development .

01.01 Describe your startup in more detail

With noticeable experience in the aquatic industry. I have experienced a lot of disputes amongst communities. One community wanting development (Solar AC/DC pumping system) and the other side wanting to stick to their old pumping system of diesel generators due to their good delivery of water. I came up with a solution to satisfy both communities and bring them to a common ground by installing both system in one borehole without effecting each other. This has brought great improvement amongst community members because they have the best of both worlds. Electrical Drs engineering
