Reliable Solar Borehole Pump Systems in Zimbabwe – Technology, Setups & Expert Installation

For reliable off-grid water access across Zimbabwe, solar-powered borehole pump systems provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution. Sona Solar designs and installs robust systems that combine high-efficiency solar arrays, smart MPPT controllers, and heavy-duty submersible pumps to deliver steady water supply for homes, farms, and businesses.

Solar Borehole Water Pump Systems

Our approach covers system sizing, battery or direct-drive options, pump selection, and site-specific mounting and wiring — ensuring each installation meets local groundwater conditions, expected daily demand, and long-term maintenance needs. With professional installation, thorough testing, and local aftercare support, Sona Solar helps you achieve dependable water access while reducing running costs and eliminating dependence on unreliable grid power or diesel.

Technical Features of Our Solar Borehole Systems

The Pump: Built for Durability

High-Efficiency Motor: Advanced Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM).
Robust Construction: IP68 waterproof rating and silicon carbide seals.
High-Temperature Resistance: Operates reliably up to 150°C.
Deep Submersion: Submersion depths of up to 120 meters.

The Controller: Smart & Protective

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT): Maximizes power from solar panels.
Intelligent Operation: Auto-adjusts pump speed based on solar intensity.
Total System Protection: Safeguards against dry-running, over-voltage, etc.
Soft Start Function: Prevents electrical surges and water hammer.

Popular Installation Setups

For 24-hour pressurized water, a pressure switch connected to the controller automatically turns the pump on when pressure drops and off when the tank is full.

A widely-used method where the solar pump fills a storage tank during the day. A separate, battery-powered booster pump then pressurizes water from the tank for use at any time.

The simplest way to achieve gravity-fed pressure. The solar pump fills a tank on high ground or a tank stand. For every 2.31 feet of height, you gain 1 PSI of pressure.

Ideal Applications for Zimbabwe

Agricultural Irrigation

A sustainable solution for crop irrigation, greenhouses, and drip systems in remote fields.

Livestock Watering

Ensures a consistent, reliable water supply for livestock troughs and remote pastures.

Domestic Water Supply

A dependable solution for daily water needs in off-grid homes or villages.

Conservation & Land Management

Supports wildlife conservation and reforestation by providing a reliable water source.

Planning & Sizing Your System

Step 1: Calculate Your Required "Head"

"Head" is the total vertical distance the pump must overcome. You can calculate it with this formula:

Total Head = H1 (Lift from water level) + H2 (Height of tank) + Pipe Friction Loss

Step 2: Calculate Your Solar Panel Needs

The solar array must meet the pump's power and voltage requirements. Below are examples for a common 750W pump with a 90V-120V controller.

Parameter	Calculation	Result
Panels in Series	3	3 Panels
Total Voltage (Vmp)	3 x 39V	117V (Perfect)
Total Power	3 x 430W	1290W (Excellent)

Parameter	Calculation	Result
Panels in Series	2	2 Panels
Total Voltage (Vmp)	2 x 52V	104V (Perfect)
Total Power	2 x 585W	1170W (Excellent)

Parameter	Calculation	Result
Panels in Series	2	2 Panels
Total Voltage (Vmp)	2 x 53.2V	106.4V (Perfect)
Total Power	2 x 455W	910W (Acceptable)
