Myanmar

Most parts of Myanmar have abundant rainfall, but in the central region, it is obstructed by mountains as a rain shadow area. The annual rainfall is less than 1000mm, and it is hot and dry, belonging to a semi-arid climate.

From June to July 2023, construction and installation of solar water pumping systems in 20 villages funded by UNDP were completed in Myingyan and Nyaung U counties in central Myanmar. The project uses the Solartech PB-G3 series 4kW AC solar water pumping system. Under solar power supply condition, the system average daily water flow is 120 cubic meters at 50 meters water head. The PB-G3 Smart Pro solar pumping inverter configured in the system can not only meet the requirements of hybrid with grid power supply, but also achieve the function of solar priority, that is, only when there is insufficient sunlight during the day and at night can the grid power supply be connected.

The delivery and operation of this project greatly has alleviated the difficulties of local villagers' domestic water use and farmland irrigation, while also saving the local government financial electricity expenses.
