If you ever need to supply water beyond the reach of power lines, the solution lies in solar pumping systems. Solar water pumps are specially designed to operate on DC electric power generated by photovoltaic modules.

Dankoff Solar Force Piston Pump

Solar Force Piston Pumps (Surface Pumps) are designed for drawing water from a shallow well, spring, river or tank. It can pump water uphill and over long distances for home, village, irrigation or livestock uses. It can use power directly from a photovoltaic array, or from storage batteries, to fill a storage tank or to pressurize water.
 

Grundfos Submersible Water Pumps

These centrifugal pumps are specially designed for drawing water from deep wells. They operate automatically during the daylight hours, pumping at a rate proportional to the available sunlight. The pump controller matches the speed of the pump to the power output of the photovoltaic array, maximizing water delivery under varying light conditions. This insures early morning start-up and allows operation under low light levels, which increases the volume of water pumped per day.
