Solar Agriculture

No EB at the farm? Run the pump on sunlight.

The panel array feeds a solar drive. The drive runs your borewell or open well pump directly. No battery bank, no diesel, no monthly bill — and no waiting for the line to reach your land.

How It Works

Three components, one straight line

There is no battery in this system, and that's deliberate — batteries are the most expensive and shortest-lived part of any solar setup. You pump when the sun is up and store water, not electricity.

Panel array

Sized to the pump's power requirement plus a margin for cloudy hours and panel degradation — not to a round number on a price list. Mounted on a fixed structure oriented for the best daily yield.

2

Solar drive

Takes the array's DC output and synthesises the three-phase AC your pump needs, varying frequency with available sunlight. As the sun rises the pump ramps up; as clouds pass it slows instead of tripping.

The pump

Your existing pump usually works as-is. Where it doesn't, we replace it with the right head and discharge combination for your borewell — matched to the drive, not bought separately.

Protection

Dry run cut-out so the pump never runs on an empty bore. Overload, over/under voltage and phase protection on the output. For cable runs beyond 500 ft, a sine wave filter keeps drive noise off the motor windings.

Honest Comparison

Solar, diesel or EB?

Solar pumping is excellent for daytime irrigation and terrible for anything you need at midnight. Here's the plain version.

Who It's For

Where solar pumping makes obvious sense

Borewell irrigation

Deep borewells feeding drip, sprinkler or flood irrigation across the land.

Open well pumping

Lifting from an open well into a storage tank or straight into the field line.

Farm house supply

Domestic water for a farm house that has no electricity connection at all.

Diesel replacement

Sites currently running a diesel pump set, where fuel is the real recurring cost.

Tell us your borewell depth and we'll size it.

Depth, required discharge, and how many hours a day you want to water. That's enough for us to come back with a panel size, a drive rating and a real number.
