However, the electricity cost of the system is so high for HOCAP who pays the bill that HOCAP is now facing a budget limitation. (SHGO, e-mail March 28, 2013)

Solution Solar water pump Average Product Cost: $2000 Rate: over 600 gallons/day or 54 gallons /hour Sample product from LORENTZ, a market leader in solar powered water pumping solutions. Lorentz also has International distributor in Accra, Ghana.

Methodology Data analysis: - Water supply VS. demand - Energy supply VS. demand - Current cost VS. reduced cost Case study - Similar solar water pump projects

Conclusions A solar water pumping system is

sustainable and plausible. This new system not only can be used in the Okushibri community, but also other similar communities who are still struggling with the lack of clean water.
