This image showcases a solar-powered water pump installation at a SENA (National Training Service) facility in Guajira, Colombia. The system features a ground-mounted array of solar panels, likely angled to optimize sun exposure in the region. These panels convert sunlight into electricity, which powers a water pump (partially visible in the image). 

This sustainable setup provides a reliable and environmentally friendly water supply for the facility, reducing reliance on grid electricity or fossil fuels. The installation likely serves as a practical training tool for SENA students learning about renewable energy technologies and their applications in rural areas.

Do these systems only work when it's sunny outside?

While the systems work best in full sunlight, they can still function with some cloud cover. Many installations include water storage tanks to ensure water availability during cloudy days or nighttime.
