University of Las Tunas Enhances Agricultural Output with Photovoltaic Irrigation Technology
The University of Las Tunas (ULT) has installed photovoltaic irrigation modules on two farms in Colombia, Cuba, to address energy limitations and increase food production. This initiative, led by the UDI, has equipped 15 hectares with sustainable irrigation systems, significantly improving productivity. The project benefits local farmers and informs UDI's future research in sustainable development, including solar dehydration and bioclimatic architecture. There is interest from farmers to adapt this technology for home energy use.

The University of Las Tunas (ULT) has implemented photovoltaic irrigation modules on two farms in Colombia, Cuba, to enhance food production amid energy challenges. The initiative, coordinated by the UDI, has provided sustainable irrigation systems across 15 hectares, leading to improved agricultural productivity.
Following installation, the Los Manantiales farm reported transformation in planting and harvesting capabilities. The UDI is also conducting research on solar dehydration and bioclimatic architecture. Local farmers have expressed interest in adapting the technology for home energy, although current modules are designed solely for irrigation.
