- Scope
- Solar water pumping · Elevated steel tower · Gravity distribution
The brief
Sun-powered pumping fills an elevated steel tank by day. Gravity does the rest.
A working farm moving water from a borehole to livestock troughs and irrigation lines, with diesel deliveries the main operational headache.
Our approach
- Solar pumping array sized to the borehole's yield and the daily water requirement.
- An elevated steel tower to store water at height, giving pressure without pumps running at night.
- Simple controls that stop pumping when the tank is full and protect the pump when the borehole runs low.
