Less fuel spending
Sunlight replaces much of the diesel or grid power used for pumping.

Solar irrigation
Water your fields with energy from the sun.
Solar-powered pumps lift water using sunlight, reducing reliance on diesel or grid electricity for irrigation. We advise on the right pump and panel setup for your land and water source.

For
Farmers, agri-businesses, cooperatives
System type
Surface or submersible solar pumps
What we do
Water source check, pump and panel sizing, installation, training
The problem
Fuel is a big cost every irrigation season
Many farms still run pumps on diesel. Buying, carrying and storing fuel adds cost and effort, and prices can change from one season to the next.
A solar pump uses free energy from the sun during the same daylight hours when irrigation is needed. It runs quietly, needs little maintenance, and works where grid power is unreliable or unavailable.

Storage option
Water tank for use outside peak sun hours
Maintenance
Panel cleaning and periodic pump checks
Timeline

Why it's worth it
What you get
02
Sun when you need it
Irrigation demand is highest in the sunny, dry months.
03
Low maintenance
Fewer moving parts than a diesel engine, and no fuel to manage.
04
Works off-grid
Suitable for fields far from a reliable grid connection.
How it works
Four clear steps
1
Consultation
We learn about your land, crops and irrigation schedule.
2
Water survey & sizing
We check the water source and depth, then size the pump and panels.
3
Installation
Panels, pump and controller installed and tested on site.
4
Training & support
We show your team how to operate and care for the system.
01
Does it work on cloudy days?
Yes, but the pump delivers less water when sunlight is weak. Sizing takes this into account.
02
Can I irrigate at night?
Not directly from the panels. A storage tank or battery option can help, depending on your needs.
03
Is financing available?
Some programmes support solar irrigation. Ask us and we will point you in the right direction.
04
How do I start?
Tell us your land size, crops and water source, and we will arrange a visit.
