# Solar Futures Productive Application Screen Samples

These are fictional public samples. They show how Solarbe Global screens solar application ideas before product matching or partner work.

## Sample 1: Cooperative irrigation service

### Scenario

A local team wants to use solar pumps to provide irrigation service for small farms.

### Four gates

1. Payer: farmers or cooperative pay per season, per plot or per water-use period.
2. Operator: local service team schedules pumping and collects payment.
3. Maintenance: pump installer or trained local technician handles routine maintenance.
4. Product path: solar pump, controller, simple storage if needed and spare parts.

### Judgment

Potentially viable if the cooperative can prove dry-season water demand, payment discipline and maintenance responsibility.

### Next question

How many farmers have already paid for irrigation or agreed to pay for a seasonal service?

## Sample 2: Fish and produce cold-chain node

### Scenario

A market or landing site wants solar-supported cold storage to reduce spoilage.

### Four gates

1. Payer: traders, cooperative, market operator or anchor buyer.
2. Operator: cold-room operator controls access and pricing.
3. Maintenance: refrigeration technician plus solar service path.
4. Product path: cold room, PV, inverter, battery if needed and monitoring.

### Judgment

Stronger than scattered small-shop refrigeration if spoilage loss and paying users are clear.

### Next question

What is the current daily spoilage loss and who has budget authority to pay for cold storage?

## Sample 3: Market service hub

### Scenario

A market operator wants lighting, charging and digital-service power for vendors.

### Four gates

1. Payer: market operator, vendor association or service kiosk operator.
2. Operator: one entity manages access, billing and service rules.
3. Maintenance: local electrician or service partner.
4. Product path: PV, battery, distribution box, lighting, charging and metering.

### Judgment

Potentially viable as a service hub. Weak if described only as "small shops can sell cold drinks."

### Next question

Who controls the market space and can collect service fees from vendors?

## Boundary

Solar Futures screening does not promise income, financing, product performance, local approval or project delivery.
