Agri PV SunFarming 

CENTRICA FOUNDATION is courtesy of a big European foundation allowed to PROVIDING CASH BACKED COLLATERAL IN the FORM OF STAND BY LETTERS OF CREDIT (SBLC) TO ZAMBIAN ENTREPRENEURS WITH PPA SEEKING FINANCIAL LOANS, as soon as they are using Agri Photo Voltaic Systems, such as introduced by SUNfarming.                                                     

For CENTRICA FOUNDATION and her international partner, it is essential to alleviate the lives of the local people, to improve the environmental situation while also addressing the effect of climate change and power shortages. Therefore our engagement primarily focused on the installation of AGRI PHOTO VOLTAIC SYSTEMS. These have pivotal Advantages of AGRI PV SYSTEMS as to the following: 

• No change of land use by PV plants. The agricultural potential and production are NOT lost!

• Agri PV plants offer sustainable job creation opportunities. Jobs are created during construction and afterward! Training for Sun Farmers and Solar Electricians will be integrated. That and the available electricity guarantee rural development. 

• Reduced moisture evaporation (80%) and so lower water use

• Rainwater harvesting for more climate-resilient crop production.

• Protection from hard rain and hail, which results in increased crop yields.

• To farm in areas that are not normally suited for crop production.

• Workers are shaded by the harsh sun during working hours.

• Animals enjoy more shelter (from heat and cold) under AgriPV conditions.

• Because Electric energy is available at the agricultural production facility, a whole host of value-added services (like cold storage and agri-processing) becomes viable.

• Farmers are also taking care of security issues and are protecting the hardware.

• No resentments from local communities, since there are jobs and opportunities! as one benefit.. The investment close to them brings better crops and jobs as benefits to the community.                               

• The environmental impact assessments (EIA) get easier approval on such agricultural land, due to knowledge traditions and usage.                                                                                                           

• Infrastructure for the plant (roads, grid, fences, drainage) and security needs are connected to the already existing structures and needs of the farmland.                                                                                      

Each company that can install such AGRI PV SYSTEMS according to the above-mentioned conditions of rural development and better, could then apply for an SBLC at CENTRICA FOUNDATION. If you have that kind of project as mentioned above we need all the necessary information about the project and investor and the commitment to install *AGRI PHOTOVOLTAI SYSTEMS.
