Solar Water Pumping
UAE & Africa
Harutto Solar designs and installs solar-powered water pumping systems for agriculture, livestock, borehole extraction, irrigation, and remote domestic supply across the UAE and Africa.
Hydraulic System Design
Flow rate, head, and daily volume calculated from application requirements. Borehole, surface water, and pressurised systems all supported.
Solar Array Sizing
Panel array sized to meet pumping demand based on site irradiation, pump efficiency, and required daily output. Storage tank volume calculated for supply continuity.
DC & AC Pump Systems
DC submersible and surface pumps for smaller systems. AC solar pump inverters (VFDs) for larger or standard pump equipment. Selection based on application requirements.
Irrigation Integration
Solar pump output can supply drip irrigation networks, surface irrigation, or storage tanks with float valve control. Filtration and distribution coordinated.
Dry-Run & Overload Protection
All systems include pump protection: dry-run detection, overload protection, and low-voltage cut-off to prevent damage during periods of low irradiation.
Installation & Commissioning
Professional installation and commissioning including pump setting, panel mounting, wiring, and functional test. O&M guide and operator training provided.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a solar water pumping system?
A solar water pumping system uses solar panels to power an electric pump directly, without a grid connection or generator. The pump runs during daylight hours when solar power is available. Systems can include a storage tank to provide water supply beyond solar hours. Applications include borehole pumping, surface water extraction, irrigation, livestock watering, and remote domestic supply.
Can a solar pump run from a borehole?
Yes. Solar-powered submersible pumps are widely used for borehole applications. The pump is sized based on the borehole yield, required head (depth to water + delivery height), daily water demand, and available solar irradiation. Harutto Solar sizes the system following a site assessment.
What happens on cloudy days with a solar pump?
On overcast days, reduced solar irradiation results in reduced pumping output. Systems designed with a storage tank (e.g., a header tank or surface reservoir) can carry supply through periods of low solar output. For critical applications, a backup generator or grid connection can be integrated. Harutto Solar accounts for local irradiation variability when sizing systems.
What is the difference between a DC and an AC solar pump?
DC solar pumps connect directly to solar panels without an inverter, making them simple and efficient for smaller applications. AC solar pumps use a solar inverter/VFD to convert DC solar power to AC for a standard AC motor pump — they can be larger capacity and allow use of standard pump equipment. Harutto Solar recommends the appropriate type based on flow rate, head, and site conditions.
Can a solar pump system be used for drip irrigation?
Yes. Solar pumping systems can be designed to supply drip irrigation networks, including pressure regulation, filtration, and distribution pipework. System capacity is matched to the irrigated area and crop water requirement. Harutto Solar coordinates pump, panel, and irrigation equipment selection.
