Solar-powered submersible water pumping systems arenversatile technology that help address community drinking water, irrigation,nand electricity needs. Stakeholders external to the community, particularlynsolar photovoltaic experts, are vital in ensuring continued systemnservices; however, there has been no comprehensive assessment of differentnsolar-powered water pumping system support efforts. This review isnthe first to systematically evaluate external support for solar-powerednsystems from multiple regions and implementing organizations. We reviewednsolar-powered water pumping system literature to identify implementednexternal support and factors that affect implementation. Publicationndatabases, organization Web sites, and citations were searched. Seventy-fournstudies were included and evaluated using inductive coding and thematicnsynthesis. We derived a framework that organized support activitiesnand factors into three nested levels of implementation: system, program,nand sector. For support efforts implemented after 2010, most supportnproviders worked at all levels. Each provider type worked at levelsnaligned with their knowledge and resources and complementary to othernproviders’ work. Drivers of support specific to solar-powerednwater systems were the existence of solar photovoltaic markets andninfrastructure, support providers experienced with solar photovoltaics,nand government and community solar advocates. We grouped support factorsnthat study authors associated with system functionality into fourncategories: location and quality of support, reliability of supportnarrangements, frequency and timeliness of support, and policy andnregulatory environment. No study outlined support for multiple usesnof the systems or end-of-lifecycle care of solar panels. Solar-powerednwater pumping systems provide multiple community services, and theirnmanagement will be bolstered by support providers collaborating tonoptimally apply their skill sets and create support plans that comprehensivelynaddress system versatility.","PeriodicalId":522914,"journal":{"name":"Figshare","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147906109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
