Enter Agsol, Efficiency for Access Research and Development Fund grantee, which has developed the MicroMill, a solar-powered alternative. Its latest version, MicroMill v2, is up to
realities set solar milling apart from practically every other solar powered product and appliance that has been brought to market. Solar milling is complicated on many fronts and requires new
This is because small agricultrual machines are never designed for efficiency, and require oversized and expensive solar systems to run them. Agsol established itself in Kenya in 2018 and has been striving towards making the most efficient
So we know a single household-level machine doesn''t make sense. Our machine is designed to serve 50-150 households. From a tech point of view, our mill could run 24/7. What we want to
Our super-efficient MicroMill can be powered from solar, mini-grid, grid or e-bike. It can process grains like maize, sorghum and millet, or tubers like cassava. 70% more profitable than a diesel mill in solar format. 2.5x more efficient than other
And best of all, by emitting no fumes at all, the solar mill is 100% climate friendly, in complete contrast to the standard diesel mills. Source: Agsol (personal communication, 2021 – based
