Solar Pumping Systems

Solar Pumping Systems for Bores, Dams & Remote Water Supply

Need a reliable pumping solution where mains power is unavailable, expensive to install or simply not practical?

We design, install and fault find solar pumping systems for bores, dams, tanks, irrigation and rural water supply applications.

With extensive experience in pumps, electrical systems and controls, we can design the complete system around the water requirements of your property — including the pump, solar array, controls, protection, level systems and backup power options.

For greater reliability, we can also design systems that can operate from a generator when solar conditions are insufficient, as well as provide remote switching and control options for pumps located away from the main property.

Complete Solar Pumping Solutions

Solar pumping can provide a practical and reliable water supply for rural and remote properties.

We can assist with:

Solar bore pump systems
Solar dam pumps
Tank filling systems
Stock water systems
Irrigation pumping
Water transfer systems
Pump sizing and selection

Solar array sizing
Pump controllers
Variable-speed drives
Dry-run protection
Low-water protection
Tank level controls
Float switches

We look at the complete pumping system, not just the solar panels or pump, to ensure the equipment is suited to the available water source and the amount of water required.

Solar Bore Pump Systems

Solar power is particularly well suited to bore pumping where water can be pumped during daylight hours and stored in a tank for later use.

We can design and install solar bore pumping systems for applications including:

When designing a solar bore system, we consider:

Correct pump and solar sizing is important to ensure the system provides the required amount of water without operating the pump outside its intended range.

Solar Dam Pumping

We can also design and install solar pumping systems for dams and surface water sources.

A dam pumping system may include:

Surface or submersible pump
Floating suction arrangements
Solar array
Pump controller
Tank level controls
Dry-run or low-water protection
Pressure and flow controls
Generator backup

Applications may include:

We can assess the distance, elevation and required flow to select a pump and control system suited to the application.

Generator Backup for Greater Reliability

Solar pumping is highly effective, but there are situations where additional reliability is required.

Extended periods of poor weather, unusually high water demand or emergency situations can reduce the amount of water available from a solar-only system.

We can design systems that allow the pump to operate from a generator as an alternative power source when required.

Depending on the application, generator integration can provide:

Backup during extended cloudy conditions
Additional pumping capacity during high water demand
Emergency water supply
Greater reliability for critical stock water systems
Backup for irrigation or tank filling

The system can be designed so the pump and controls operate correctly from either the solar supply or generator supply.

This can provide the efficiency of solar pumping while retaining another power source when conditions require it.

Remote Pump Switching & Control

Remote pumping locations can be kilometres away from the house, shed or main operating area.

We can provide remote switching and control options that allow pumps to be started, stopped or controlled without having to physically travel to the pump location.

Depending on the system, remote control options may include:

This can be particularly useful for:

Remote control can make a pumping system easier to operate while also providing greater visibility of what is happening at the pump site.

Automatic Tank Filling

Solar pumping works particularly well when combined with water storage.

Rather than requiring water to be pumped exactly when it is needed, the solar pump can automatically fill a storage tank whenever conditions allow.

We can install tank controls including:

Once the tank reaches the required level, the pump can automatically stop and restart when more water is required.

This can reduce unnecessary pump operation and make the system largely automatic.

Pump Protection

Protecting the pump is particularly important in remote solar installations where faults may not be noticed immediately.

We can incorporate protection including:

Correct protection can help prevent pump damage and provide early warning when something is not operating correctly.

Solar Pump Fault Finding & Repairs

If an existing solar pump has stopped working or is not delivering the expected water, the pump itself may not be the problem.

Faults can involve:

As qualified electricians with extensive pump experience, we can test both the electrical and pumping components of the system to identify where the fault is occurring.

Why Choose Us for Solar Pumping?

Extensive Pump Experience

We work with bore pumps, dam pumps, irrigation pumps, water transfer systems and pump controls across rural, agricultural, commercial and industrial applications.

This means we understand how to select and operate the pump correctly rather than looking at the solar equipment in isolation.

Qualified Electricians

We are qualified electricians, allowing us to complete the electrical and control aspects of the solar pumping installation.

We can work across:

This allows us to provide a more complete solution without relying on separate contractors for the pump and electrical components.

Complete System Approach

A reliable solar pumping system requires the water source, pump, pipework, solar supply, controls and storage system to work together.

We take all of these factors into account when designing and fault finding a system.

Need a Solar Pumping System?

Whether you need a solar bore pump, dam pump, remote stock water system or an upgrade to an existing installation, we can help.

We can assess your water requirements and design a system incorporating the pump, solar supply, controls and protection required for reliable operation.

For critical applications, we can also discuss generator backup and remote switching options to provide greater reliability and easier control.
