• Assess the feasibility of installing solar water pumping system.
• Able to differentiate between different type of solar systems and when to use these different types.
• Assess the main steps of project development and implementation for solar water pumping.
• Assess existing solar water pumping systems
• Compare different type of solar systems
• Become familiar with risk in implementation and mitigation
• Become familiar with solar water pumping design software.
• Become familiar with specifications to support solar water pumping tender processes.
• Understand operation and maintenance needs for solar water pumping.
