Solar Pump Installations

Use the sun to move your water.

Solar pumping provides an efficient way to operate borehole and water-transfer pumps without relying entirely on grid electricity.

Ripple Solutions designs and installs solar-powered pumping systems for boreholes, storage tanks, irrigation and remote water applications.

Why it Matters

A solar pump system is more than simply connecting solar panels to a pump.

Panel capacity, pump depth, borehole yield, head pressure, daily water requirements and controller specifications all need to work together.

Incorrect system design can result in poor water delivery, pump failure or an expensive system that never performs as expected.

How It Works

  1. Water Requirement Assessment: We calculate how much water is required per day.
  2. Borehole Assessment: Borehole depth, static water level, yield and pumping level are considered.
  3. Pump Selection: The correct pump is selected based on flow and total dynamic head.
  4. Solar Design: We size the solar array and controller according to the pump requirements.
  5. Installation: Pump, panels, controller, protection and automation equipment are installed.
  6. Commissioning: The system is tested under operating conditions and configured for reliable water delivery.

Who It's For

  • Residential boreholes
  • Farms and agricultural properties
  • Irrigation systems
  • Remote properties
  • Off-grid developments
  • Estates
  • Commercial sites
  • Clients wanting to reduce borehole pumping electricity costs
  •  

Case Example

A borehole feeding a storage tank does not necessarily need to pump continuously.

A properly designed solar system can pump water during daylight hours into storage, allowing the stored water to be used throughout the day and night.

Let us assess your borehole and daily water requirements and design the right solar pumping solution.

We are a water management company that specializes in the efficient and effective management of water resources to ensure sustainability, conservation, and proper distribution of this vital natural resource.
