SOLARFLOW IN THE NEWS

As horticulturalists around the world brace themselves for increasing climate change induced water shortages, a unique solar irrigation system is about to be launched enabling plants to be watered by combining rainwater harvesting and solar P.V technology. The British designed eco friendly system, links up to water butts and barrels and uses a tiny solar panel the size of a computer keyboard to pump the water where it is needed. It can be used anywhere including allotments where lack of electricity can hamper the use of other irrigation systems.

A solar-powered sprinkler system is coming to the assistance of gardeners whose prized blooms are wilting because of hosepipe bans. The system, designed and built in the UK, will allow the green-fingered to keep their plots fresh without having to make countless back-breaking trips to the tap with a watering can or risk sneaking out the hosepipe.
