Power your water with clean, renewable energy
Sustainable solar water pumping solutions
At PFS, we specialise in solar-powered water pumping systems designed for remote, off-grid, and rural locations. Whether you’re supplying water for a farm, livestock, or a small community, our solar solutions offer a cost-effective, low-maintenance alternative to traditional power sources. By harnessing the sun’s energy, our systems provide reliable access to clean water—independent of the grid, free from fuel costs, and built with long-term performance in mind.
Accessibility and flexibility
Solar submersible pumps can be installed almost anywhere, giving you the ability to draw water from wells, boreholes, streams, rivers, and lakes—even in remote areas with no access to the power grid. This makes them ideal for off-grid properties, farms, and isolated locations where a reliable water supply is needed. These systems are entirely self-sufficient, operating independently of electricity or fuel sources
Cost-effectiveness
One of the biggest advantages of solar borehole pumps is their ability to reduce operational costs. By eliminating the need for grid electricity or fuel, the long-term savings can be substantial. Once installed, the system has minimal running costs. Additionally, solar-powered systems eliminate the need to install costly power lines to remote sites, significantly lowering infrastructure expenses.
High reliability and low maintenance
Solar submersible pumps are built for efficiency and durability, requiring very little maintenance. They are particularly suited to remote areas, continuing to operate reliably even in locations with inconsistent power supplies or frequent outages. When installed correctly, these systems have a long operational lifespan, delivering dependable water flow for many years with minimal upkeep.
Environmental sustainability
Using renewable solar energy, these pump systems reduce reliance on fossil fuels and help lower carbon emissions. This makes them a smart choice for anyone seeking an eco-friendly and sustainable solution for water pumping needs.
Advantages over standard surface pumps
Compared to traditional surface pumps, solar submersible pumps are significantly quieter, helping to maintain a peaceful environment. They are also more resistant to adverse weather conditions such as freezing temperatures, storms, and flooding. Additionally, there is no need for manual priming, which simplifies usage and reduces ongoing maintenance.

Applications of solar submersible pump systems
Solar-powered pumps are highly versatile and offer reliable solutions for remote locations where electricity access is limited or unavailable. In rural or off-grid communities, they provide a consistent and dependable water supply for households and small settlements, helping to support daily needs and improve quality of life.
For agricultural use, solar pumps are an excellent choice for crop irrigation. Farmers can reduce or even eliminate the ongoing costs associated with fuel and electricity, making irrigation more affordable and sustainable over the long term.
In livestock farming, these systems ensure animals have continuous access to water, even in the most isolated locations. Their reliability and ease of use make them particularly valuable in areas where conventional water infrastructure is lacking.
Solar submersible pumps are also effective for water transfer and abstraction, allowing users to move water to where it’s needed—whether that’s into storage tanks, irrigation systems, or other applications—without requiring any connection to the grid.

Components of a solar submersible pump system
Solar PV Panels
The solar panels are the core of the system, capturing sunlight and converting it into electrical power. The number and power rating of the panels are determined based on your water needs and available sunlight.
Submersible Pump
This pump is submerged in the well or borehole and draws water up to the surface. The pump then delivers the water to the desired location, such as a storage tank.
Pump Controller
The controller regulates the voltage from the solar panels, ensuring efficient operation of the pump. It also includes safety features such as dry-run protection and automatic shut-off to protect the system from damage.

What Our Customers Say
Real stories from real customers who trust us to deliver every time.
We’re proud to share the experiences of our valued customers. Their feedback reflects our commitment to quality, reliability, and exceptional service. Here’s what they have to say.
I had the pleasure of dealing with PFS this week for the first time after I had to source a part at very short notice to make a connection to a South West Water sewer. I made a call after being recommended to them and they knew exactly what I needed, exactly when they could get it and when it arrived they even went through the setup. It is now in the ground and working correctly keeping our project on target. I would not hesitate to call them again in the future and would recommend PFS to anyone.

Martin correctly diagnose the problem with my bore hole pump. Olly was most helpful in providing parts for the pump , showing how to wire them and also parts for my UV filter - again giving lots of information. Both Martin and Olly were superb.
