Solar Pumps Designed for Water Demand & Field Conditions
FSP designs agriculture solar pump solutions based on pump capacity, water requirement, bore depth, running hours, site condition, seasonal use, and system safety — not a one-size-fits-all package.
The Problem
Why Diesel and Grid Pumping Hold Farmers Back
Rising Diesel Cost
Fuel price shocks make every pumping season more expensive and unpredictable.
Unstable Grid Supply
Outages stop irrigation exactly when crops need water most.
Irrigation Timing
Power cuts disrupt watering schedules and reduce yield.
Fish Farm Circulation
Ponds need reliable water circulation and aeration to stay healthy.
Remote Land
Fields far from the grid have weak or no reliable electricity access.
Wrong Sizing
Oversized wastes money; undersized fails in peak season — both common.
No Maintenance Support
Many installers disappear after the sale — leaving farmers stranded.
Use Cases
Solar Pumping for Every Agriculture Need
Irrigation Pump
Best for: Boro & seasonal crop fields.
Design focus: Daily water volume & peak-season demand.
Benefit: Fuel-free, scheduled watering.
Fish Farm
Best for: Ponds & aquaculture.
Design focus: Circulation, filling, aeration load.
Benefit: Healthier ponds, lower running cost.
Deep Tube Well
Best for: Deep groundwater sources.
Design focus: Bore depth & water head.
Benefit: Reliable deep-water lifting.
Submersible Pump
Best for: Underground water lifting.
Design focus: Motor load & head pressure.
Benefit: Strong lift without diesel.
Rural Water Supply
Best for: Household & community supply.
Design focus: Daily demand & storage.
Benefit: Independent, fuel-free water.
Agriculture Land Energy
Best for: Farm sheds, lights, small loads.
Design focus: Combined pumping & energy needs.
Benefit: One system for water and power.
Design Factors
What FSP Checks Before Sizing Your Pump
A correct solar pump design depends on all of these — we do not skip any of them.
- Pump HP / kW rating
- Pump type (surface / submersible)
- Water requirement per day
- Bore depth
- Water head (total lift)
- Pipe distance & delivery point
- Daily running hours
- Seasonal usage pattern
- Available panel mounting space
- Controller / inverter selection
- Direct solar vs battery backup
- Cable route
- Protection & earthing
- Maintenance access
Configuration
Direct Solar vs Battery Backup
Direct Solar Pump
- Best for daytime water pumping
- Lower cost — no battery
- Depends on sunlight hours
- Ideal with water storage & irrigation scheduling
Battery Backup Option
- Useful for pumping outside sunlight hours
- Higher cost
- Needs proper battery sizing
- Requires more careful maintenance planning
Pump Load & Water Demand
The Numbers That Size Your System
Here is a worked example showing how the inputs size a system. Your actual figures come from your pump, water demand, and site survey — these are estimates, not promises.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Pump HP / kW | 5 HP / 3.7 kW (example) |
| Pump type | Submersible |
| Daily running hours | ≈ 6 hours |
| Water requirement / day | ≈ 60,000 liters |
| Bore depth / head | ≈ 150 ft |
| Required solar panel capacity | ≈ 5 kW (estimate) |
| Controller / inverter requirement | Matched to pump rating (per design) |
| Battery requirement | None — daytime pumping with storage |
| Estimated system size | ≈ 5 kW (estimate) |
| Safety margin | ≈ 15% (seasonal reserve) |
