Describe your product and your key goals

<aside> <img src="/icons/apple_blue.svg" alt="/icons/apple_blue.svg" width="40px" /> Describe your product

</aside>

Revolutionize sea salt farming with our innovative Solar Sea Salt Pumping System. Harnessing the power of solar energy, our system provides a sustainable and efficient solution for pumping seawater into the salt pans, reducing your carbon footprint and operating costs.

<aside> <img src="/icons/bullseye_green.svg" alt="/icons/bullseye_green.svg" width="40px" /> What you want to achieve by March 2025

• To establish a solar pumping that generates the pumping system where the salt farmers in the Treuy Koh area can generate the water to help their salt harvesting instead of using the diesel pumping
• To provide the capacity building to salt farmers to understand solar pumping systems with the quality and environmental solution that we can scale up to the whole region together with them
• Increase agricultural productivity and yields
• Reduce energy costs and improve efficiency
• Enhance water management and conservation
• Improve livelihoods and economic stability
• Contribute to sustainable environmental practices </aside>
