What Is a Submersible Solar Water Pump?
A submersible solar water pump is a pump installed below the water level, commonly in boreholes, wells, or deep water sources, and powered directly by solar panels. Unlike conventional electric or diesel pumps, these systems operate using DC solar energy, eliminating fuel costs and dependence on grid electricity.
They are ideal for:
- Boreholes and deep wells
- Irrigation systems
- Livestock watering
- Domestic and community water supply
How Submersible Solar Water Pumps Work
The system consists of:
- Solar panels that generate electricity from sunlight
- Solar pump controller that regulates voltage and current
- Submersible pump motor placed inside the borehole or well
During daylight hours, solar panels power the pump directly, lifting water to storage tanks or distribution systems. Advanced controllers protect the pump from dry running, over-voltage, and overheating.
Key Benefits of Submersible Solar Water Pumps
1. Zero Electricity & Fuel Costs
Solar water pumps operate entirely on sunlight, drastically reducing operational expenses.
2. Ideal for Remote & Off-Grid Areas
Perfect for locations without grid access or where electricity is unreliable.
3. Low Maintenance
With fewer moving parts and no fuel engines, maintenance requirements are minimal.
4. Environmentally Friendly
Produces clean energy with zero emissions, supporting sustainable water management.
5. Long Service Life
High-quality submersible pumps are designed for continuous operation in harsh environments.
Applications of Submersible Solar Water Pumps
✔ Borehole Water Pumping
Suitable for deep boreholes ranging from 30 metres to over 200 metres, depending on pump rating.
✔ Solar Irrigation Systems
Widely used in farms for drip irrigation, sprinklers, and greenhouse watering.
✔ Livestock & Dairy Farming
Provides reliable water supply for cattle, goats, sheep, and poultry.
✔ Domestic & Community Use
Ideal for homes, schools, hospitals, and villages requiring consistent water access.
