Solar water pumping for boreholes and wells

Pump water from an existing borehole using solar alone, with a storage tank instead of a battery. Engineered from your depth, flow and head figures, not from a catalogue.

To be clear: we do not drill boreholes. We design and install the solar pumping system on a borehole or well that already exists.

Water pumping is one of the best possible matches for solar. You do not need power at a fixed hour, you need water available when you turn the tap. That means the pump can run whenever the sun allows, filling a tank, and the tank covers you the rest of the time.

How the system is put together

A solar array feeds a controller, which drives a submersible pump sized for the depth and flow you need. Water is lifted into a storage tank, and everything downstream, whether that is irrigation, livestock or household supply, draws from the tank.

Because the tank buffers supply, day-to-day variation in sunlight matters far less than people expect. What matters is that the system delivers the volume you need across a typical day.

What we need to size it properly

  • Borehole depth and casing details
  • Static and dynamic water level, which determines the real lift
  • Flow required, in cubic metres per day rather than a vague figure
  • Tank height and distance, which add to the total head
  • Panel location and shading

If you do not have all of these, we help you establish them. Quoting a pump without them is guesswork, and it is how undersized systems get installed.

Typical uses

  • Irrigation on agricultural plots
  • Remote properties with no practical grid connection
  • Livestock water supply
  • Replacing a diesel generator that currently runs a pump

Frequently asked questions

No. We do not drill. We design and install solar pumping systems on boreholes and wells that already exist. If you need drilling, that is a separate specialist trade.
Usually not. The practical approach is to pump into a storage tank during the day and draw from the tank whenever you need water. The tank does the job a battery would, at a fraction of the cost.
Borehole depth, the static and dynamic water level, the flow you need, the height and distance to the tank, and the panel location. Without those figures any quoted system size is guesswork.
Yes, that is one of the most common uses. Pumping during daylight into a tank, then irrigating under gravity or on a schedule, suits agricultural plots well.
