Benefits of Using Solar For Water Pumping Systems and Boreholes In Kenya

Here’s Why Using Solar For Water Pumping Systems and Boreholes In Kenya is Gaining Momentum

Despite high energy costs in Kenya, water scarcity in the rural areas and rationing in the urban areas is a major concern,

For a country with a population of 50 million people and rising!

Lack of availability of clean piped water is a breeding ground for waterborne diseases.

Residential and commercial buildings have to part with billions of shillings annually in water pumping electricity costs.

The high electricity costs in Kenya from the local utility provider are forcing Kenyans to switch to solar for their water pumping needs.

The Advantages of Using Solar For Water Pumping Systems and Boreholes In Kenya

Solar powered water pump systems are now commonly seen in residential and commercial uses across Kenya,

As well as for irrigation of agricultural land by farmers.

Through solar panels, the pump can eliminate the cost of energy,

And provide a more feasible option that uses energy from the sun for pumping fresh and clean water.

The sun is the natural source of energy for an independent water supply.

Solar powered water pumps and systems operate anywhere that the sun shines,

And the longer it shines, the more water they pump.

When it’s cloudy, they pump less water, but often you need less water when it is cloudy.

Solar panels, the power source for solar water pump systems,

Have no moving parts, require no maintenance and last for decades.

A properly designed solar water pumping system will be efficient, simple and reliable.

In conclusion if your water sources are remote from power lines,

Add up your long-term costs of fuel and repairs on generators,

Or the cost of utility line extensions. Now consider the savings with a solar water pump system that needs attention only once every 2 to 20 years depending on the model.

One of the best options for powering water pumps in remote and off-grid applications is through solar energy.

Solar works as an excellent compliment to water pumping because typically the sun is brightest, and thus the pump flow highest, when water resources are needed.

Solar powered water pumps can provide an equal volume of water per day without the high and inefficient energy demands of a large capacity AC pump.

Instead of pumping a large volume of water in a short time and turning off, the solar water pump works slowly and efficiently all day.

Often a solar water pump specifically for wells will work fine in a well with a recovery rate too slow for a conventional AC pump.
