Solar panels powering irrigation for women's vegetable garden
Power at Zero Fuel Cost

The same sun that dries the fields now powers them.

Every CBG solar system is engineer-designed and 100% solar-powered — no diesel, no recurring fuel cost, no generator noise. From pumping water out of a borehole to lighting a classroom after dark, the sun does the work.

  • Solar PV pumping for boreholes and irrigation, with smart-controller automatic tank fill-up
  • Solar home lighting kits and solar street LED lighting for safe, after-dark access
  • Electrification for rural schools and households, extending study and work hours after sunset

Where Solar Shows Up

Three ways solar reaches a community.

Solar PV irrigation for vegetable gardens

Solar PV Irrigation

Solar-pumped irrigation systems for vegetable gardens — a target of 100 villages.

Solar equipment delivery for rural electrification

Rural Electrification

2,000 targeted electrification projects for rural schools and household solar access.

Solar-powered borehole pumping

Solar Borehole Pumping

Every borehole's smart-controller pump runs on solar power, at zero fuel cost.

Our Targets

Where we're headed.

1

Solar PV irrigation systems for vegetable gardens in 100 villages targeted.

2

2,000 electrification projects supplying electricity to rural schools and improving rural household access to solar energy.

3

At least 60% of beneficiaries are women, girls and young people.

Bring solar power to a village.

Every system is engineer-designed for zero fuel cost, for decades.
