Taytay, Freshwater Plant
- Rural freshwater supply and solar-powered water pumping & distribution facility
- System Size: 54.00 kWp
- Completion: 18-Jan-2018
Project Summary
Taytay Freshwater Supply in Palawan is a vital community project that brings clean drinking water to several remote mountain villages and an island community surrounded by unspoiled countryside. Solaren was proud to take part in this effort, providing a solar-powered water pumping system that draws fresh water from a nearby lake and delivers it through a gravity-fed network to the communities below. The system operates entirely on renewable energy, ensuring reliable water access without the need for fuel or grid power. This project stands as a model of how solar technology can deliver life’s most essential resource to isolated areas while preserving the natural beauty and integrity of Palawan’s environment.
