How each part of SolariQ works, how youth operators and farmers use it in the field, and which engineering details we are testing before deployment.
Each card covers one engineering choice and its practical benefit for operators and farmers. Open any dossier for details and open test items.
Overhead solar over dug canals without concrete bank casting or loss of farmland.
Produces clean daytime electricity right along public canals to power irrigation pumps, keeping fertile farmland completely untouched.
How it works: Lightweight rails hold solar panels low over dug canals just above seasonal flood height, eliminating concrete bank casting.
Daily irrigation quotas and crop weather advisories without buried soil probes.
Youth operators receive daily pump schedules on their app, while farmers view their plot status, weather alerts and crop guidance.
How it works: A central model combines local weather feeds, crop growth stage and FAO-56 water balance rules, backed by simple visual AWD tubes.
Elevated dry control hardware, flexible pump intake and pre-filtered pulse valves.
Keeps electronics dry in monsoon weather, switches pumping to a backup source if a summer canal dries up, and stops sediment from jamming valves.
How it works: Relay electronics sit in a dry elevated enclosure above flood water, pump intake switches between canal and backup sources, and a mesh screen protects latching valves.
Every saved pump minute and off-season sunny hour flows straight into the National Grid.
Turns seasonal dug-canal solar into a 365-day National Grid asset while lowering farmer diesel spending across Bangladesh's delta basins.
How it works: Instead of running a pump 15 minutes blindly, stopping at an exact 10-minute GeoAI quota frees 5 minutes of pump power per run (plus idle monsoon/winter days) for estimated SREDA Net-Metering export to the National Grid.
Every design choice addresses an everyday issue that causes rural irrigation equipment to fail: monsoon flooding, costly bank casting, muddy canal water and buried sensor upkeep.
Concrete canal bank casting raises civil costs and blocks field runoff, while floods damage ground electronics.
No concrete bank casting. Low panels sit above seasonal flood height, and control hardware stays in a dry elevated box.
Lowers construction cost and keeps relays dry. Next: wind stability checks on soft earthen banks.
Sensors buried in flooded plots corrode, drift across soil types and add replacement cost for smallholders.
Zero buried soil probes. Central GeoAI forecasts daily quotas calibrated with visual BRRI AWD pipes.
Youth get clear pump schedules and farmers view crop/weather tips. Next: plot-level drainage matching.
Silty canal water clogs standard valves, while dry summer spells can lower canal depth below intake.
A mesh pre-filter screens debris before short-pulse valves, and pump intake can switch to a nearby backup source.
Avoids valve overheating and keeps dry-season pumping active. Next: endurance tests in turbid water.
Traditional solar pumps sit idle 7-8 months a year, while blind 15-minute pumping wastes solar energy.
GeoAI cuts excess pumping (e.g. 10m vs 15m) and routes saved pump power plus idle-day solar straight to the National Grid.
Turns public dug canals into 365-day clean power assets across deltas. Next: utility net-metering tie-in check.
