Solar Water Pumping Central West
Powerful Solar Water Pumping Solutions
Our solar water pumps can be deployed for livestock, irrigation, gardening, and other applications. They consist of a solar panel array that is connected to an electric motor which powers a surface pump or bore. Gathered water – from the ground or another water source – enters a storage tank with a gravity feed. At NSW Country Solar, we offer solar pumps in the Central West region and beyond, travelling to farms, cattle stations, and other rural properties as needed.
After our solar technicians have installed the solar pump system at your property, no fuel is needed for operation. You can easily mount the solar pump onto your trailer to transport it to a new bore location, such as a paddock, field, or garden. With our solar water pumps, you can enjoy unparalleled convenience!
To learn more, or arrange an installation with our technicians, call us today on (02) 6845 1519. We take on solar hot water jobs in Wellington, Dubbo, Orange, Bathurst, Mudgee, Parkes, Cobar, Bourke, Lightning Ridge and surrounding regions.
Solar Pump Benefits
If you rely on bore water for your farming operation, a solar pump system is a great investment. Here are just a few reasons why:
- They are extremely long-lasting & easy to maintain
- They are much more economical than windmills
- They won’t cause the fowling of waterways or the erosion of banks, making them great for the environment
- They can offer multiple water distribution points for pastures
Solar water pumping offers significant benefits for a wide range of properties in NSW’s countryside, particularly for farms and remote locations. For farmers, solar water pumps provide a cost-effective, sustainable alternative to traditional water pumping, reducing reliance on grid electricity and lowering operational costs.
Farms can utilise these pumps for irrigation, livestock, and other agricultural needs. In remote areas, solar pumps are invaluable due to their independence from the electrical grid, offering a reliable and low-maintenance solution to water access challenges. Their eco-friendly nature aligns with sustainable practices in agriculture.

How to choose your Solar Powered Pump
Solar powered pumps are an efficient, eco-friendly solution for a variety of water-pumping needs, particularly in rural and off-grid areas. To select the right pump for your needs, please consider the following:
- Power rating: Choose a solar water pump based on the water depth and volume requirements. Pumps with higher-wattage panels can handle deeper wells or larger irrigation systems.
- Flow rate: Flow rates, measured in litres per minute (L/min), are crucial for determining water delivery. For large farms, a solar pump delivering 50-100 L/min or more is often required.
- Durability: Solar pumps often come with durable, weather-resistant materials that withstand harsh environmental conditions.
- Solar panel efficiency: Modern solar pumps are equipped with high-efficiency solar panels, often above 18-20% efficiency, to maximise energy conversion even in low sunlight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much water does a solar pump produce?
This will depend on the model of the system and its location. Modern systems can produce between 50 and 1,400 gallons per day. We recommend confirming with your technician.
How long do solar water pumps last?
Both the surface and underground models typically last between 15 and 20 years. What’s more, they require minimal maintenance to function optimally in the long run.
