Solar Water Pumping for Boreholes, Farms and Properties
Masterpiece Systems Limited supplies and installs solar water pumping systems across Kenya for homes, farms, businesses and community water projects. Based in Nairobi, we conduct site surveys and carry out installations countrywide. Contact us about pumping water from a borehole, well or reservoir for tank filling, irrigation or livestock.
Tell us where the water comes from, how much you need each day and where it needs to go. Site survey and installation fees may apply. We confirm applicable charges before booking.

Solar Borehole Pumps and Domestic Water Supply
Plan a submersible pump to deliver water from a borehole or well to a storage tank. Borehole records, the water level while pumping and the height of the delivery point help determine the pump and solar array required.
Solar Pumps for Irrigation and Livestock
Size the system around daily water demand and the flow needed at the delivery point. For irrigation, share the area to be watered, irrigation method and operating schedule. For livestock, include herd size and storage or trough requirements.
Commercial, Industrial and Community Water Pumping
Assess pumping requirements for facilities and shared water systems. Share the daily volume, peak demand, source capacity and storage available so the proposal can account for when water is pumped and when it is needed.
How Much Does Solar Water Pump Installation Cost in Kenya?
The installed cost depends on the required flow, pumping head, pump and controller, solar panel capacity, and the length of the pipe and cable runs. Mounting, tank controls and changes to existing equipment can also affect the total. Ask which items are included when comparing equipment prices with installed quotations.
What to send for a quotation. Share your town or county, water source, estimated daily water demand and delivery point. Include the borehole report or pump test results if available. For an upgrade, send the existing pump and controller model numbers and photos of the setup.
Which Solar Pumping Setup Fits Your Site?
| Setup | When to consider it | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Submersible solar pump | Pumping from a borehole or well. | Pumping water level, source yield, borehole dimensions and delivery height. |
| Surface solar pump | Moving water from a tank, reservoir or other suitable source. | Pump position relative to the water level, suction conditions and delivery pressure. |
| Daytime pumping with tank storage | Pumping when solar power is available and using stored water later. | Daily demand, usable tank capacity and expected output during periods of lower sunlight. |
| Pumping with auxiliary power | Sites that need pumping outside daylight hours or during periods of low solar output. | Pump and controller compatibility, operating hours and the available backup power source. |
How Solar Water Pump Installation Works
-
1. Review Water Demand
We review the water source, estimated daily volume, delivery point and when water is needed.
-
2. Survey the Site
The survey can cover the existing pump, pipe route, tank location and available space for solar panels. We confirm any applicable survey fee before booking.
-
3. Size and Quote the System
Review the proposed pump, controller, panel capacity, expected water delivery and the pipework or electrical work included.
-
4. Install, Test and Hand Over
We install the system and carry out the agreed checks. Confirm whether the quote includes flow checks, tank controls, operating guidance and follow-up support.
Solar Water Pumping FAQs
What size solar pump do I need for my borehole?
Pump size depends on the required flow and total pumping head. Head accounts for the lift from the water level while pumping to the delivery point, pipe friction and any outlet pressure needed. The proposed flow should also be within the borehole’s sustainable yield.
Do solar water pumps need batteries?
A daytime pumping system can fill a tank for later use without batteries. If the pump itself must run after dark, tell us the required operating hours so a compatible backup power arrangement can be assessed.
Can I convert my existing electric pump to solar?
It may be possible. Share the pump nameplate, motor rating and existing controls. These details help determine whether a compatible solar pump controller can run the existing motor or whether replacement equipment is needed.
Do you install solar water pumps outside Nairobi?
Yes. Masterpiece Systems Limited conducts site surveys and installs solar water pumping systems across Kenya. Survey and installation fees may apply depending on location and project scope. We confirm applicable charges before booking.
