What is a solar well pumP?
Solar-powered well pumps are a green alternative to traditional electric-powered well pumps. Solar-powered water pumps work in the same way as a traditional water pump.
The sun shines down on the silicon cells of the solar panel. The silicon cells then convert the sun’s heat energy into usable electricity for the water pump.
The water pump has a power cord attached to it. However, instead of that cord containing prongs for a standard electrical outlet, it contains a connection for the solar panel.
Once the pump is connected to the panel, the solar array will provide all the pump’s electrical needs as long as the sun is shining.
The sun and the solar panels provide all of the electricity needed to pump water from hundreds of feet underground.
Why Install a solar well pump?

Easy to maintain
Extremely reliable and durable
Great for remote and off-grid areas
Lowers your carbon footprint
Powered by renewable energy
Typically has a long expected useful life
Extremely cost-efficient over the lifetime of the water pump
Is a Solar Pump Cost Effective?
Advances in technology have made low cost systems possible and readily available. After the initial system cost, which is often comparable to other well options, there are no ongoing operating costs. Normal wells burn money every time they turn on to pump water. This is not the case for solar well pumps.
