Solar Pump and Panel Sizing Guide
| Use Case | Approx Daily Need | Pump Power (Watt) | Panel Capacity(W) |
| Small household or farm‑stand (e.g. 2‑4 rooms, small garden) | 2,000 – 5,000 liters/day | 200‑500 W DC pump | 800‑1,500 W of PV modules (depending on sun hours) |
| Community boreholes or school | 20,000‑50,000 L/day | 2‑5 KW pump | Multiple panels totaling maybe 6‑12 kW or more |
| Irrigation fields or large livestock / small commercial farming | tens of thousands L/day to hundreds of thousands | 5‑15 KW or more depending on the area and head | Very large PV array, possibly hybrid or battery support |
What Features Should Matter When Buying a Solar Powered Pump?
The dynamics of your water supply or project requirements such as water source, depth and water quality decides the best pump to use.
Type of Water Pump
Solar water pumps are either submersible or surface pumps. While both can work effectively in water supply projects, their specific point of use is different. Submersible pumps are used in deep wells and boreholes while surface pumps work in shallow wells, rivers or dams.
Maximum Head
Pump head is the measure of vertical lift and friction losses the pump must overcome.
The maximum distance that a pump can push vertically decides which pump would work best for your water source.
Motor Type
Pump motor powers the pump. Solar pump motors can be DC or AC. Direct Current (DC) motor operates directly on sun power while AC pumps require an inverter to convert DC current to AC. DC motors are generally more efficient and simpler, but in some cases AC or hybrid systems are used
Flow Rate
The water requirement of your daily applications per unit often determines the flow rate of pump to buy. Flow rate is the amount of water a pump discharges per hour or minute.
Power Capacity
The panels need to be sized accordingly to ensure efficient power supply and performance of the solar pump.
Controller
For optimal power protection and pump protection. The controller should be compatible with pumps and panels with protection features such as voltage control considered.

Benefits of Solar Powered Water Pumps
Lower operational cost: Solar energy is available at no cost. You only incur the cost of the solar powered pump and complete system including installation costs.
Clean Energy – because solar powered pump systems don’t consume fuel they are categorized as clean energy solutions. With zero carbon or noise they environment friendly.
Best for off-grid areas – for places with no access to electricity or where cost of electric power is high, solar powered pumps are ideal.
Affordable alternative to grid power – solar pumps are cheaper and recommended as affordable power option for both rural and urban areas.
Low maintenance – because they do not use engines, solar pumps rarely experience damages.
Reliable for Clean Water Supply – due to the design and its non-corrosive nature, solar pumps are dependable for moving clean water.
Challenges with Solar Powered Pumps and their Solutions
Low Sunlight Seasons
The output of panels drops significantly. When sizing the pump and pv modules, consider increasing an allowance to accommodate for low sunlight period. Use MPPT controllers, use storage (water tanks or batteries).
Dust
Dust accumulation on the panels reduces power output.
To solve this, clean regularly to remove the dust.
Pump wear and clogging
Caused by sand content, silt or debris in water. Use pre-filters, choose pumps designed for solids, schedule regular inspection.
Incorrect sizing
Either over or under‐sized system causes waste or insufficient water. Do a proper site assessment (daily water requirement, head, etc.).
