As a landlocked country in West Africa, agriculture is the pillar industry of Burkina Faso and the main source of livelihood for millions of people. The country has long been plagued by difficulties such as an 8-month annual drought, scarce and unevenly distributed precipitation, weak agricultural infrastructure, and insufficient rural power grid coverage. Agricultural production areas often suffer from farmland water shortage due to drought, leading to reduced yields of crops such as rice and millet, which seriously restricts local agricultural development and food security, and the food self-sufficiency capacity has long been at a low level. As one of the professional solar pump suppliers, DIFFUL has introduced solar pumps suitable for the local tropical savanna climate into Burkina Faso through local agent channels, focusing on agricultural irrigation scenarios. With practical and reliable product technology, it helps farmers get rid of the predicament of "relying on the weather for food", and supports agricultural quality improvement, income increase and the improvement of food self-sufficiency capacity.
Combining the characteristics of agricultural production in Burkina Faso, DIFFUL has launched an ACDC series solar pump solution suitable for the local area, focusing on solving the pain points of "water shortage, power shortage and difficult maintenance". The product design is suitable for farmers' operation ability, focusing on the actual needs of crop irrigation, and supporting the development of local agricultural irrigation.
Burkina Faso has a tropical savanna climate with high temperature, little rain and much sand and dust. Traditional fuel pumps have high costs and unstable supply, while ordinary solar pumps are difficult to adapt to the environment. The products supplied by DIFFUL to the local area mainly include three types: plastic impeller, stainless steel impeller and high-speed pump, equipped with fully sealed waterproof motor and MPPT maximum power point tracking technology, which are suitable for the local environment and ensure stable water supply during the critical period of crops. Among them, the high-speed pump can be used as a deep well solar water pump, suitable for the local deep well water extraction needs, and also can be used as solar water pumps for wells, fully serving the agricultural irrigation scenarios .
This series of solar pumps is simple to operate and convenient to maintain, and different models and impeller/pump types are suitable for different scenarios: the plastic impeller model is light, corrosion-resistant and cost-effective, suitable for scattered planting by farmers; the stainless steel impeller model is strong and wear-resistant, suitable for areas with high sand content in water quality; the high-speed pump has high lift and large flow rate, and as a deep well solar water pump, it can effectively solve the problem of deep water extraction, fully cover the irrigation needs of local main crops, and help improve the quality and efficiency of agricultural irrigation.
