Solar pumping is simple: panels make electricity, a controller turns it into the right supply for the pump, and the pump fills a tank while the sun shines. What matters is choosing the right type and size. That's where we help.
A brushless DC pump inside the borehole, driven directly by the panels through an MPPT pump controller. It is the simplest and lowest-cost system, suited to domestic water, livestock and kitchen gardens.
The controller runs on solar and switches to KPLC power or a generator when you need water after dark or on a cloudy day. Suits schools, institutions and serious irrigation.
The pump sits on the ground and draws from open water. It moves large volumes at low head, for drip, sprinkler and furrow irrigation.
This gives a first estimate from our catalogue data. A site survey confirms it before any money changes hands.
No. Pumps run directly from the panels, and the water tank does the storing. If you need water at night, choose a hybrid pump that can also run on grid or generator power.
The pump, its solar pump controller and the solar panels listed. Installation, riser pipe, drop cable, panel mounting and transport outside Nairobi depend on your site, so we quote them after the survey.
Your borehole drilling and test-pumping report (depth, water levels, yield), the tank height and distance, and roughly how much water you use per day.
If the borehole is sandy or the water is hard, the stainless-steel impeller lasts longer. For clean, low-sand water, the standard impeller is the better value.
Send us the borehole depth or the distance to the river, and how much water you need each day. A technician confirms on site before you pay for anything.
