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.
