The main objective of the project is the production of clean water through a system combining solar-powered desalination and extended rainwater collection, to substantially improve the Múcura Island’s inhabitants’ quality of life. While powering a desalination plant, the solar PV system’s production surplus will provide electricity for refrigeration and ice production (e.g. for fish conservation), with a positive impact on income-generating activities led by local micro-enterprises.
