For the first time in the sultanate, solar energy is being harnessed to pump water from a well that will supply water to 80 homes in Samail in Dakhliyah governorate. Eng Abdullah bin Hamoud al Husseini, head of the operation department at the Public Authority for Electricity and Water (PAEW) in Samail said, “We used solar energy for the first time to operate a well in Wadi Sijani in Samail because the well location does not have access to electricity supply points.”

The technology will help 80 homes in Al Sinsila and Wadi Sijani. “The solar water pumping system will pump water from the wells and provide abundant water to these houses,” said Husseini. He said the authority has installed 40 solar panels.

“We have installed 40 solar panels with a productive capacity of 10kWh which will help produce 2,200 gallons of water per hour. Water is pumped into the tanks of Wadi Sijani. A diesel generator has also been installed in case the panels stop working. The system was installed in six weeks.”
