Solar water pumps are ideal for use in many applications, especially for agricultural use here in the Okeechobee area. After all, Florida gets more intense sunshine than almost anywhere else in the country, making these pumps the perfect option for watering livestock, crops, and for supplying water for industrial uses.

What are the benefits of a solar water pump?

USDA financial assistance

With the nation’s freshwater supply unevenly distributed across the landscape, there are growing concerns about the availability and quality of the water to support various uses. For this reason, the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is offering financial assistance to those who implement water management structures like solar water pumps on their land. More information is available here.

Solar panels provide consistent power, even in remote areas

Large plots of agricultural land regularly have limited access to grid power. When properly maintained and supplied with adequate water storage, solar pumps offer a very reliable solution to this issue. Some systems even offer ways to remotely monitor performance and water flow rate.

Low operating costs

One of the biggest advantages of a solar water pump is that since its energy comes from the sun, the costs to operate and impact to the environment are very low. Additionally, solar panels are eligible for technology certificates in some areas that can help offset initial purchase costs.

Solar pumps are low maintenance

Compared to traditional grid power or generators, upkeep on solar pump systems is minimal. This is an important factor since these pumps are often used in relatively remote locations, away from service facilities.

Solar pumps change flow to accommodate demand

Florida has notoriously warm summers, and when it’s hot out, animals and crops need more water. A solar water pump moves more water in sunny conditions when it’s needed, and appropriately slows down when it is overcast or raining.
