Solar water pumps and dc pumps are currently being used to irrigate crops, water thirsty livestock, and provide potable drinking water.  Solar water pumps use peak solar array output which frequently coincides with high water demand during long, dry summer days.  In the event of cloudy weather solar water pump systems often use storage tanks to store excess water. Unlike generator powered water pumping systems, solar water pumps do not require fuel or constant maintenance.  Solar water pumps can also be designed for portability to be moved as water demand or change of seasons requires.  Solar water pumps cost less to operate, offer modular capability to be quickly expanded as demand increases, unlike a generator or windmill water pumps.

          Why choose SC Solar as your supplier for your water pumping needs? Experience.

 SC Solar has a friendly and knowledgeable staff to provide our customers with unmatched customer service and installation experience. 

Typical solar water pump applications:

Irrigation (lift and pressurized)
Livestock (deep wells, pipeline transfer, pond and stream protection)
Aquaculture (transfer, circulation, aeration, de-icing)
Home and village supply
Medical clinics
Camp sites, vacation cabins
Water purification and treatment systems

Mounting solar panels on trackers is often a cost-effective method of getting the most out of your solar array and your solar water pumping system.  Solar trackers follow the sun during its arc through the sky and boost water pumping by 25 to 40%.

        The type of solar water pump you use depends on your application and the configuration of the water source.  Pressurized/Booster Pumps are used where surface water or shallow well water is available that must be pressurized for domestic water use.  Components include a booster or jet pump, a pressure switch, batteries, and a captive tank.  Submersibles are used for low to medium lift wells where high flow capacity is required.
