Case Study:
CA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE
Our most recent project helped the CA Department of Fish and Wildlife develop grazing leases for 40-60 head of cattle. RPS provided our special government agency Procurement Service and sourced the 300 gallon stock tank, 8 gauge wire and drop pipe, ensuring that all required parts were purchased on a single, easy invoice. Procurement Service is available in all 50 states!

We wrapped up the solar pump install this week and everything could not have gone any smoother. The pump install was probably the most nerve-racking but it went really well. One of our guys fabricated a clamshell to hold the ends of the pipe on the top of the well casing, we then used a wench from our service truck to lower everything down one length of pipe at a time. Thanks so much for walking us through this and answering all our questions when we picked the system up.

RPS SOLAR IN THE COMMUNITY!
We’re finishing up a Taro plantation grant in Hawaii using an RPS surface pump to irrigate at 100 GPM, and before that, a mountain bike washing station on public lands.
RPS has a team of solar pump specialists on call to help with design and troubleshooting, whether you need a submersible pump, surface pump, deep well pump up to 1,100 feet of head, or up to 400 GPM. We can even power an existing AC pump with solar and supply auxiliary power for small appliances!
