- The program expands solar-powered irrigation in India, Bangladesh, Kenya, and Ethiopia.
- It uses evidence from Phase I (2019–2025) to make policies for solar irrigation.
- Farmers get access to solar pumps through Pay-as-you-go (PAYG), microfinance, and blended finance programs.
- The program trains farmers and local technicians to install and maintain solar irrigation systems.
