Description: Siraga Solar aims to design and install solar irrigation systems for farms in Qena, Luxor, Aswan and New Valley with more than 3 feddans of land and with depths of wells ranging from 30 m to 100 m. The company will partner with a variety of verified suppliers to offer different systems depending on the client’s needs (size of land, irrigation types and schedules, well depths, types of crops etc).
Value Proposition: Siraga Solar distributes to and installs solar pumping systems for small to medium scale farms in Qena, Luxor, Aswan and New Valley who have a challenge in obtaining a continuous source of diesel and who suffer from fluctuating diesel prices. Siraga Solar also offers on-demand maintenance services so the farm owners do not have to wait for technical assistance from the main suppliers in Cairo.
