Tatweer Research said AgroLEAP aims to enable farmers, who rely on the traditional electricity grid, to learn about the benefits of solar energy to achieve energy sufficiency and sustainability. This involves a group of experts and energy suppliers offering their services to farmers and providing personal consultations, to facilitate the adoption of sustainable energy solutions and to strengthen partnerships between farmers and solar energy providers.
