Solar Borehole Pump - Taking Irrigation Off The Grid

How to Go Off the Grid with a Solar Borehole Pump

With the high rising costs of electricity and the inconsistency in supply, more and more households are trying to find ways to save money by cutting down. We are already leaps and bounds ahead when it comes to alternate water supply but how do we go about finding an alternate supply for electricity that won’t be overly expensive; and one that works in conjunction with our water-saving methods? Turn to the environmentally attractive alternative, which will not only save you money in the long run but will enable you to go off the grid; a solar borehole pump.

An infinite source of energy

Solar panels are strategically placed on the roofs of homes or high platform structures to ensure maximum output. When the sun shines onto a solar panel, the energy from the sun is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel. This energy creates electrical charges that move in response to an internal electric field in the cell causing electricity to flow. In the case of borehole water supply, the panels power an electric motor which in turn powers a borehole pump.

Socially and environmentally attractive technology

The installation of a solar borehole pump ensures that not only those areas that are typically beyond the reach of power lines will receive water but that current irrigation, livestock water and potable drinking water systems can be replaced by ones that won’t need to rely on electricity. Remote areas often do not have access to clean running water, solar borehole pumps can alleviate the lack of this basic necessity.

Recouping the costs

Requiring less maintenance and increased operating costs are definitely an attractive benefit to going off the grid with a solar borehole pump. The sun being an infinite source of energy means that you are not restricted to running times, as they are operational throughout daylight hours. The biggest advantage is that you no longer have to dread receiving your electricity and water bills.

The benefits off installing a solar pump system for borehole use are numerous, from the financial savings to better operational costs and ultimately the environmental benefits. It is a great personal investment to make as you will receive a watering system that lasts far into the future.

With all the benefits that a solar borehole pump has to offer, you can’t afford not to have one. Contact the experts in sustainable and reliable pump solutions, Water Pump Group.
