Solar energy has emerged as a transformative solution for water supply systems in Mozambique, especially in remote communities where access to the electrical grid is limited or non-existent. Collins has led this revolution, implementing integrated photovoltaic systems that ensure continuous and sustainable operation.
Why Solar Energy?
Mozambique has one of the highest solar energy potentials in Southern Africa, with an average of 5.5-6.5 kWh/m² per day. This abundant resource, combined with the need for decentralized energy solutions, makes solar energy ideal for water systems.
Collins Success Stories
Maluvane Project - Govuro
In the Govuro district, Collins implemented a complete solar-powered water supply system, benefiting more than 5,000 people.
Measurable Results
After 18 months of operation, the Maluvane system demonstrates 99.2% operational uptime and 100% reduction in energy costs.
Social and Economic Impact
Beyond water access, solar systems generate significant secondary impacts: development of small businesses, improvement in public health, increase in school attendance, and women empowerment through reduced time dedicated to water collection.
