Solar Wells
Across South America, a significant number of individuals rely on water sources like rivers and lakes for their drinking water, unfortunately, many of these sources are contaminated and impure. Consuming such polluted water exposes them to a wide array of health risks, spanning from gastrointestinal illnesses to more severe concerns like neurological issues and even cancer.
The pervasive use of these tainted water sources underscores the urgent need for improved access to clean and safe drinking water in the region.
In some parts of the world, the bucket and rope system is used to manage water, but it wouldn’t work well in South America. Instead, solar panels can be used to provide clean and safe water to communities by harnessing solar energy. These panels can also generate electricity for homes and buildings, allowing people to recharge appliances like torches and lighting systems. Solar panels are a versatile solution designed to provide both water and electricity to communities.
This project will cost $1900 and includes: purchase (complete solar well: wiring, light bulbs, pump, power plant, etc.) shipping, labor and maintenance that will benefit numerous communities..
The solar panels will have a 25- year warranty.
The Pump will have a 5- year warranty.
Solar Panel Maintenance: every 5 years
Solar panels are a superior solution due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness in extracting water multiple times a day.
