Solar Water Pump
Transforming the rural landscape
Looking for a reliable and sustainable way to power your home or business?
Our solar panels are the perfect solution! With advanced technology and superior performance, our solar panels offer a smart way to harness solar energy, providing you with a cost-effective and eco-friendly energy solution.
Benefits of Our Solar Panels
Very Low Operating Cost
The main advantage of the solar water pump is that it uses sunlight at no cost. Just as solar water pumps reduce dependence on electricity or diesel, once installed, there is no recurrence cost of electricity or fuel.
Financially Beneficial
Solar water pumps can be a blessing for Indian farmers. The farmers can sell surplus energy to the grid, along with using it for water irrigation.
Simple & Highly Reliable
there is less dependence on electricity and fuel, power cuts, low voltage, and single phase problems such as solar water pumps do not affect the work. In remote areas with irregular power supplies
Features of Our Solar Panels
Submersible Design
Submerged in water for efficient pumping, reducing energy loss.
Long Lifespan
Durable components ensure a reliable and long-lasting water pumping solution.
Off-Grid Operation
Ideal for remote locations, functioning independently of traditional power grids.

AC & DC Solar Water Pump
surface solar water pump
Benefits of Surface Solar Water Pumps:
- Easy installation and maintenance: Surface pumps are readily accessible, simplifying installation, repair, and cleaning.
- Lower initial cost: Generally, surface pumps are more affordable than submersible ones due to their simpler design and easier installation.
- Versatile applications: Suitable for various water sources like ponds, lakes, and rivers, making them good for irrigation, livestock watering, and ornamental features.
- Solar panel placement flexibility: You can position the solar panels away from the pump for optimal sun exposure without needing long and expensive cables.
AC & DC Solar Water Pump
Benefits of AC & DC Solar Water Pumps:
- Hybrid power: Harness AC's higher power for big jobs, plus DC's efficiency for everyday pumping.
- Double the options: Switch between AC grid backup and DC battery storage for ultimate water security.
- Smarter pumping: Combine AC's wider compatibility with DC's simpler setup for easy installation and control.
- Peak performance: Enjoy AC's high flow rates and DC's quiet operation, all from one pump.
- Future-proofed: Mix and match DC's efficiency with AC's scalability for growing water needs.
- Cost-conscious pumping: Get the best of both worlds - AC's affordability for large demands and DC's savings for low-power use.
submersible solar water pump
Benefits of Submersible Solar Water Pumps:
- Ideal for deep wells: Submersible pumps are built to withstand the pressure and depth of being underwater, making them perfect for deep wells or boreholes.
- Efficient water cooling: Being directly submerged in the water keeps the motor cool, leading to higher efficiency and longer lifespan.
- Quieter operation: Since they're underwater, the noise of the pump is muffled, making them ideal for residential areas or sensitive wildlife.
- Protected from harsh elements: Submersible pumps are shielded from extreme weather conditions like wind, rain, and snow, ensuring reliable operation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ
A solar water pump is a pump that uses solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity, which then powers the pump to draw water from a well, borehole, or other water source. It’s an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional pumps that rely on fuel or grid electricity.
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. A charge controller regulates the DC electricity and may send it to batteries for storage. An inverter can convert the DC electricity to alternating current (AC) if needed for the specific pump model. The converted electricity then powers the pump, which draws water from the source.
There are many benefits to using a solar water pump, including:
Environmentally friendly: They produce no emissions, making them a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuel-powered pumps.
Cost-effective: Once installed, the operating costs are minimal, as they rely on free sunlight.
Reliable: They can operate in remote areas where grid electricity is unavailable.
Low maintenance: They have fewer moving parts compared to traditional pumps, requiring less maintenance.
Versatile: They can be used for various applications, such as irrigation, livestock watering, domestic water supply, and more.
The main drawbacks of solar water pumps are:
- Higher initial cost: The upfront cost of purchasing and installing a solar water pump system can be higher than traditional pumps.
- Weather dependent: Their performance depends on sunlight availability, so they may not be suitable for areas with limited sunlight or frequent cloudy days.
- Lower flow rates: Generally, they have lower flow rates compared to electric or fuel-powered pumps.
There are two main types of solar water pumps:
Submersible: These pumps are placed underwater in a well or borehole.
Surface: These pumps are placed on the ground or on a floating platform and draw water from a surface source like a pond or lake.
Solar water pumps can also be classified by the type of current they use:
DC pumps: These pumps use direct current and are typically used for smaller applications.
AC pumps: These pumps use alternating current and are typically used for larger applications.
The best solar water pump for you will depend on several factors, such as:
- Your water needs: How much water do you need to pump and at what rate?
- Your well or water source: The depth of your well or the characteristics of your water source will determine the type of pump you need.
- Your budget: Solar water pumps come in a range of prices, so it’s important to consider your budget.
- Your location: The amount of sunlight available in your area will affect the performance of your pump.
It’s recommended to consult with a qualified Prefuel energy solar water pump engineer to determine the best system for your specific needs.
The cost of a solar water pump in India can vary significantly depending on several factors, including:
- Pump type: Submersible pumps tend to be more expensive than surface pumps.
- Horsepower (HP): Higher HP pumps will cost more.
- Brand and quality: Well-known brands and higher-quality materials will command a premium.
- Additional components: Batteries, inverters, and other components will add to the overall cost.
- Government subsidies: Subsidies can significantly reduce the cost depending on your location and pump type.
As a rough estimate, here’s a range of solar water pump costs in Indian rupees:
- 1 HP surface pump: Rs. 50,000 – Rs. 1,00,000
- 3 HP surface pump: Rs. 1,00,000 – Rs. 2,00,000
- 5 HP submersible pump: Rs. 1,50,000 – Rs. 3,00,000
Batteries are not always necessary for solar water pumps. They can be helpful for storing excess solar energy to power the pump during cloudy periods or at night. However, if you have a reliable water source and sufficient sunlight, you may not need batteries.
