History & Development

The LORENTZ smartTAP Water Dispenser was introduced around 2018 as an innovative solution to provide sustainable, off-grid water access in underserved communities. Developed by LORENTZ, a company founded in 1993 with a focus on solar-powered water pumping systems, smartTAP integrates hardware, software, and predefined business models to enable revenue collection, water entitlement, and sustainable water provision. The system is designed to be self-contained, requiring no external power, and is robust to reduce the chance of damage, making it suitable for remote and challenging environments. Each dispenser can serve approximately 500 people, and the system supports scalable deployment, allowing for single or multiple dispenser installations to adapt to various community sizes and needs. The smartTAP solution reflects LORENTZ's commitment to leveraging solar technology for improving water access and management globally.
