From Water to Watts: Solar Pumping and Agrivoltaics for Ethiopian Agriculture

Food and energy are the twin foundations of rural prosperity, and Green Scene Energy builds systems that deliver both at once.

Our solar water pumping programme has deployed hundreds of high-efficiency pump systems on smallholder and commercial farms across Ethiopia, replacing diesel and hand pumping with reliable, sun-powered irrigation. Backed by consumer financing we developed with Ethiopian financial institutions, these systems are turning rain-fed plots into productive, climate-resilient farms.

Agrivoltaics takes the food and energy connection a step further: crops and solar generation on the same land. Pairing farming, including high-value crops such as spices, with elevated solar arrays lets one plot produce food and power together, raising land productivity and adding a second income stream for the farm.
