Solar Water Pump Price
Our solar water pump price in Kenya is determined by these specifications; water flow rate, depth of installation/ head, and the horsepower (Hp). Grekkon Limited’s solar water pumps for agriculture vary in accordance to a wide variety of water flow rates, from shallow well to deep borehole models
These submersible solar-water pumps for sale in Kenya serve every water pumping system. Each is a volume water pump. Our borehole submersible solar pump prices in Kenya depend on the depth, and flow rate of the well. Cheaper submersible water pumps for sewage water extraction are available too

What to consider in solar water pump price
1. Power rating
Each borehole solar water pump has a motor. This motor’s power rating is provided in Kilowatts (kW) or Horsepower (Hp) and this determines the number of solar panels used to power the pump. For example, a pump that has a power rating of 2,700 watts will use 10 solar panels of 400 watts each. Note that the solar panels provide 4,000 watts, more than the 2,700 watts required. The reason for this is to compensate for any power loss, and ensure that what gets to the solar pump’s motor is 2,700 watts
The motor size differs with the pump size. The larger the pump, the larger the motor, and vice versa
2. Head
This is the pressure rating provided in meters. It is a measure of how high the solar pump pushes up a given volume of water vertically at various depths. Your solar pump for irrigation will have the head indicated as the minimum to maximum range and tied to a specific water volume discharge rate. For example 5 cubic liters per hour at 50M to 1.2 cubic liters per hour at 250M. This will be illustrated on the label as 5M3– 1.2M3| 50M-250M

3. Flow rate or discharge rate
This is the volume of water the solar water pump evacuates at a given pressure. A range is provided for this as illustrated in (2) above. The larger the submersible solar water pump, the greater the discharge rate. For any given solar-powered water pump, there is an inverse relationship between the discharge rate and the depth or height of pumping. The volume of water discharged decreases for every increase in pumping depth or height
Submersible solar water pump prices in Kenya
Solar water pump for irrigation prices (submersibles for shallow, low volume wells below 100M)
| Model No | Power (Hp) | Watts | No & Panel Size | Head (M) | Flow rate (liters/ hour) | Price in Kes |
| SP 0.5N | 0.6 | 700 | 300W x 1pc | 40M | 5,800 | 37,120 |
| SP 0.6N | 0.8 | 1,200 | 300W x 2pcs | 60M | 5,800 | 40,215 |
| SP 0.8N | 1.1 | 1,300 | 300W x 3pcs | 70M | 5,800 | 46,400 |
| SP 1.0N | 1.3 | 1,400 | 300W x 3pcs | 80M | 5,800 | 52,600 |
For solar submersible water pumps for deep well below 80M, we provided tailored units based on the test pumping results of the borehole
How to install a solar water pump
Step 1. Study the borehole well test pumping report
Step 2. Select the pump with the recommended dynamic head and flow rate as per the test pumping report
Step 3. Note the pump setting depth from the test pumping report
Step 4. Gather the right cabling for the pump
Step 5. Match the right number of solar panels by multiplying the wattage indicated on the pump by 1.2. This is to allow for maximum power flow to the pump
Whereas solar pumps power a drip irrigation system, they will not power a sprinkler or rain hose irrigation system
Solar-powered water pumps FAQs
I. How much is solar water pump in Kenya?
The solar water pump price depends on the features listed above; power rating, head, and flow rate. It can be a low-cost solar water pump that costs Kes 15,000, and or a borehole solar water pump as much as Kes 1,500,000
Solar pump prices are varied according to this
II. How much is a solar panel in Kenya?
Our price is Kes 50 per watt
III. What is a DC water pump?
A direct current water pump is one that uses a direct current from a solar panel or battery to push irrigation water
IV. Do you sell any portable solar water pump in Kenya?
Yes our shallow well solar water pumps are portable
V. Is it a low-volume high-pressure water pump?
Not all. Some of our submersible solar water pumps are high volume high-pressure water pumps. They have a high water flow rate. Most are high volume high-pressure pumps with a high water flow rate
VI. What is the best solar-powered water pump?
It depends on the individual’s use
VII. How does a solar pump work?
Solar energy from the sun is received on the panels. This energy as a direct current is fed to the motor to pump out the water
VIII. Do solar pumps work at night?
No, they don’t, unless powered by an external battery
IX. Which solar pump is the best?
To determine the most appropriate submersible solar water pump for a client, the following information will be provided
- Depth of the well or borehole
- The water level in the well or borehole
- Water requirement or use per day
X. What are the disadvantages of solar water pumping?
- The initial set up cost is expensive
- If placed in an insecure location, the risk of theft is high
- It does not pump at night or when it gets very cloudy
XI. Can I connect a pump directly to a solar panel?
No you cannot because they both require different voltages and current
Need a 200m deep solar submersible pump to serve a 25m water tower. Separate costs on panels, Cabels, pump and any other.
Good evening Job,
For a such a detailed solar water pump price quote, share with us your test pumping report. We need to understand the pump depth, and we’ll yield.

Need some quotes, let’s chat on email
In regards to or solar water price? Sure sir!
I found your website very informative and interactive. Keep it up. Am visiting your stores
Thank you Frank, na karibu sana!
1) My borewell is 250ft, what pump is ideal for It, and how much?
2) Is HPDE pipe good for the connection?
3) Do you offer supply and installation?
4) Do you have an office in Nakuru if no can someone buy online?
Dear George,
1. No you cannot use HDPE pipes with your solar submersible water pump. Use borehole specific UPVC pipes. We have them.
2. Yes we do supply and install
3. We serve Nakuru for now from our Nyahururu office
Share your number for us to call you back.

I need a good surface pump that can pump water from a river upto my parent’s house. The water is for domestic use and some irrigation.I am from Gatundu North, Mwimuto village. Thanks.
Dear Stephen,
To give your an accurate solar submersible water pump cost, please provide us with the elevation height in meters. Download an ‘Altimeter’ app. Take the above sea level readings at the river, then at your parent’s house in meters. Deduct the 2 variables to get the slope height.
Best regards,

Hi
I have a 150m borehole that I intend to use for irrigation of a2 acre farm. What’s the right solar pump and accessories that you can advise on and possible cost for the same
Regards
Dear Walter,
To provide the right solar water pump price, advice us on;
1. The water level in the borehole (BH)
2. The yield of the BH in cubic litres per hour
Alternatively, share your test pumping report on info@grekkon.com
