About this project

The project "SOLVATTEN Solar Safe Water Heater Kenya" further referred to as the project activity, is based on the distribution of the "SOLVATTEN Solar Safe Water Heater" further referred to as SOLVATTEN, by Swedish company Solvatten AB (the project developer). The use of SOLVATTEN displaces the baseline use of non-renewable biomass and fossil fuels to treat drinking water, thus resulting in Emissions Reductions. The use of SOLVATTEN also helps households reduce fuel expenditures, improves end-user health by cleaner indoor air and clean water access, saves time on chores such as fuel collection and cooking typically performed by women, utilises free renewable solar energy and reduces the demand on unsustainable biomass. SOLVATTEN will be distributed to rural household end-users in the host country Kenya. Distribution registry will contain location of every distributed SOLVATTEN unit. SOLVATTEN is a point-of-use unit for UV disinfection and water heating to supply safe drinking water.

Country only The registry gives the country only, so the project is not drawn on the map

The registry gives Kenya as the location, so this project is not drawn on the map. It is counted in the country totals.
