Project Description
The project involves the supply and installation of a 30.760 Wp sun2flow solar water-pumping system for a newly established water-supply system at a large cattle farm. The system will provide the farm’s cattle population with drinking water.

The system will be located near the Defensores del Chaco National Park, a remote area without any access to the electricity grid, 250 km north of Filadelfia, the capital city of the Boquéron region, in Paraguay. The installation will consist of 15 fixed sun2flow systems, each equipped with 1.920 Wp Würth CIS modules. Additionally each system, equipped with pumps and floaters, will drain up to 100 000 ℓ/d of water. These installations will be complemented by a mobile system, equipped with 1.960 Wp Lightway polycrystalline modules to support the fixed systems for peak consumption times.

Value

Duration
The farm will be equipped with five fixed and one mobile sun2flow systems and ten more fixed solutions will subsequently be installed in early 2014.

Latest Developments
The first phase of construction has already started and was expected to be completed by the end of November.
