Simusolar makes irrigation simple and effective with customized systems that require no fuel, with payment plans for affordability. We have been providing the services and equipment farmers need to be more productive and to be independent of rain patterns and rising fuel prices, since 2016.
Customized Irrigation System Design to meet the needs of YOUR farm Pricing includes everything needed for your SWP system
Solar Pumps can be used for Irrigation in Agriculture to help increase productivity as they allow the user to irrigate without concern for the operating costs of electricity/fuel. This will help farmers to increase productivity and income. They can also help the Farmer to be able to cultivate throughout the year without waiting for rain or the weather, this will help the Farmer to produce and harvest the period when prices are good in the market.
Solar Pumps increase the productivity of pastoralists as livestock depend on water and access to water is a key element in productive animal keeping. The use of solar power will help the pastoralist to water livestock even when they do not have the money to buy fuel, thus increasing productivity.
Our customers also use Solar Pumps to keep water in the Fish Ponds thus increasing the income for the profits from Aquaculture.
Due to the Solar Pump being cost-effective Our customers with these Pumps are also using them as an additional opportunity to increase income by selling water to the people around them in the community. This also helps to increase community well-being by making it easier to access water services in close proximity.
A solar pumping system involves using solar energy to pump water from a source on the surface (lakes, rivers, streams, reservoirs) or from inside a well, to your fields to irrigate your crops. Solar water pumps are widely to supply well water and upstream sources to livestock/crops. In Africa, the use of solar-powered water pumps has become increasingly popular in commercial farms due to the high cost of fuels for running pumps. The cost of pumping water using solar energy is very low compared to fue-powered pumps.
operate from the water sources of rivers, ponds and lakes near the surface of the earth and are used primarily for moving water through the pipe. These pumps have a pull and water exhaust component. They are often placed near a water source and absorb (draw) water over it and push it to the desired location for a certain distance. They do not enter the water, meaning they operate while they are outside the water or near the water source.

Submersible pumps are installed in the water within the well or borehole, and are submerged within the reservoir.

Solar panels provide power to the pump, it is important the level of electrical power of the pump be consistent with the electrical power of the panels. Having a larger solar panel allows the pump to heat up earlier and add more power as the sun gets more intense.
Never use soil, sandy and grass waste water in running any pump The water source should be clean and not less than 3 feet (1 meter deep) for surface pumps The farmer should not try to open a pump system and try to make repairs but by contacting Simusolar customer service to get immediate help.
In order to select the right pump for a particular field, the following should be considered:
1. Source of water 2. The daily water needs as per; a) Crops grown (water requirements of cultivated crops) b) Size of small farm production c) Total farm size 3. Variation of elevation from water source to the highest point of field (TDH) 4. Lowest depth of water in summer (if it is borehole) 5. Distance from source to the farthest distance for pumping water on a farm 6. Distance from the pump to a solar panel or solar array
