A solar powered water pumping system was implemented in a remote mountain area in Yemen to provide clean water for domestic and health care use. The system included 24 solar panels producing a total of 1200W of power, an 1500W inverter, and a submersible pump. It was able to pump 8000-9000 liters of water per day at a lower cost than using diesel. The implementation was smooth and the system met the community's needs, with further sites being planned. Solar electric pumping was shown to be economically viable for villages up to 2000 people.
