Clean irrigation, rural microgrids, and zero diesel for farming communities.
Typical Outcomes
5–200 kWh · cooperative & individual
Typical System Cost
NPR 15–80 lakh (pre-subsidy)
AEPC Subsidy
30–50% of capital cost
Monthly Diesel Savings
NPR 1–5 lakh (per cooperative)
Payback Period
3–5 years (post-subsidy)
Nepal's agricultural Terai runs on diesel — an expensive, polluting, and fragile fuel chain that keeps farming costs high and limits productivity. Arsa Energy designs solar irrigation microgrids and rural energy systems that replace diesel pump sets with clean solar-plus-storage, serving cooperatives of 10–200 farmers from a shared energy infrastructure. AEPC subsidy eligible.
Solar irrigation for paddy, wheat & vegetables
Cooperative shared microgrid
Rural household electrification
Agro-processing (mills, chillers, dryers)
Livestock facility power
Remote community centres & clinics
Eliminate Diesel Dependency
One diesel pump set consuming 20L/day costs a farmer NPR 100,000–130,000 per irrigation season. Solar replaces this entirely.
Expand Irrigated Area
Reliable solar power enables double-cropping and dry-season vegetable cultivation — dramatically increasing farm income per bigha.
AEPC Subsidy Eligible
Nepal's Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) provides 30–50% capital subsidies for cooperative solar irrigation systems.
Community Power
Shared microgrids power not just irrigation but also agro-processing, cold storage, rural clinics, and household lighting from one infrastructure.
Every solution is delivered as a complete, commissioned system — not a parts list.
