Solar Pumping Diagrams

If a surface pump out of a tank won’t work(require 60 PSI, want to hide the pump for security reasons etc.), a submersible pump may be placed inside of a storage tank. Choose between vertical or horizontal placement depending on preference.    Submersible pumps can’t provide 45 -60 psi for a household by themselves, they require [...]

With a direct drive solar pump, keep a tank full with water from your well ready for irrigation day or night. In this example, we integrate a sediment tank (C) gravity feeding into a secondary tank. A float switch (A) shuts pumping down once the clean water tank becomes full. If you don’t have elevation [...]

Quickly pump water with our highest volume (up to 475 GPM), low head dewatering pumps (B) - sometimes referred to as a “sewage” or “grinder” pump because of its ability to pump solids. This example depicts pumping water from a creek or river to fill adjacent ponds. Especially helpful when pumping from an exposed area [...]

Kick up the pressure! Without a pressure tank, solar pumps can easily provide up to 20 PSI for things like drip lines, flood irrigation or other micro irrigation. For 30, 45 or 60 PSI applications, like sprinklers (B) or soakers, you’ll need to pair a pressure tank (A) to maintain consistent flow. We have solar [...]

Easily solve your off grid tank to tank pumping conundrum with a high head surface pump that can push water up 500 feet of vertical climb! The Pro GB Booster (A) suctions water out of a lower tank and deposits water into an upper tank. Don’t worry about pump damage if the tank empties out, [...]

Submersible pumps can’t provide 45 -60 psi for a household by themselves, they require the help of a pressure tank for reliable, consistent higher pressure. An RPS 200, RPS 400, RPS 600, RPS 800 or RPS 400N could be used in this setup as they are all compatible with batteries (B), which you’ll need for [...]

A two-for-one deal! Our surface pumps are high volume, 45 PSI offering that could alternate between aerating a pond and providing water for sprinklers. A number of our customers water plants around the pond edge, building up natural flora. Water is drawn from the pond using a foot valve (C), bringing cool water to the [...]

Low producing springs (A) are useful sources of water, but might need a little help collecting enough to pump. If your spring spills out onto the ground, flowing away downhill, we suggest burying a tank next to the well (B). The tank will collect water at night, meaning you’ll have a large store of water [...]

Submersible pumps are for more than just wells! Our pumps can be oriented vertically or horizontally, allowing you to float a pump (A) inside a piece of  PVC pipe. Holes are drilled in the PVC, allowing an inflow of water, and the pipe is wrapped in fine mesh to filter out large organic matter. Finally, [...]

RPS Surface Fountain Series is  a great surface aerator! Can be installed as a waterfall to break up surface water or as depicted to the right. An RPS Pro Surface Pump (A) pulls water up from a pond or spring with a foot valve (C) or floating intake and recirculating water back into the pond. [...]

Filling a pond with a well pump is a popular and fairly simple install. Plumb the well pump to discharge into the pond, being careful to have the pipe outlet above the water level to prevent siphon. You can also pump from a river or spring to a pond with a solar well pump or [...]

Got a ditch, river or creek that could be used for irrigation instead of drilling a new well? In this example, a piece of perforated PVC (A) is placed in the creek to simulate a well casing. Slide the submersible pump into the PVC(C), using a low water sensor is optional but highly recommended if [...]

Wondering how to better utilize the existing natural water resources on your property like creeks, streams or rivers? In this example, a cistern (A) is sunk in the creek to control for fluctuations in creek flow and current. The submersible pump is thereby protected from settling on the sediment heavy creek bottom. If the creek [...]

You’ll need a existing 24V battery for this setup, that’s the only voltage the Tankless Pressure Pump controller will accept from batteries.  Your household solar array powers up the 24V battery bank as usual using the charge controller already in place (C). The TPP charge controller connects directly to the battery bank and pulls off [...]

The RPS universal charge controller (B) is the brains of the operation. Solar power from the panels is routed through the controller to the pump using an MPPT for maximum efficiency. Sensors reacting to environmental conditions that turn the pump on or off for protection are also connected. We use a wet/dry tank full sensor [...]

On properties that have usable elevation change, water can be stored in a tank at a high point of the property, naturally pressurized from gravity (A). A tank must be located 95 feet above the house for gravity to provide 45 psi worth of water pressure. The calculation can be done for any type of [...]

An existing household solar system can be used to power an RPS solar pump, usually designed as a stand alone setup. We have kits without panels available, allowing you to run the pump off of a 24V or 48V battery bank powered by your existing solar panel array.  24V: RPS 200  48V: RPS 400, 800  [...]

This is great for aeration with a fountain or venturi nozzle as with the high volumes of this Pro Series pump.

Popular is using a well pump when you need an easy way to move water from a large tank or pond to stock tanks around the property.

Perfect for larger operations that require multiple storage and stock tank locations.

Popular with winter pastures!

Use your solar well pump as the primary household water pump or create the popular “redundant system” to your primary AC pump by sliding down a narrow 2’’ pump in the same casing and plumbing into the existing pressure system.

On properties that have usable elevation change, water can be stored in a tank at a high point of the property, naturally pressurized from gravity for irrigation.

When the grid goes down that means you only have the water stored in your pressure tank.

Need a ditch, low point or basement drained?

While a submersible well pump is an option in some cases as well, popular is utilizing a surface transfer pump that will pull water out of a spring box, pond, shallow well or cistern using a foot valve.

Filling a pond with a well pump is a popular and fairly simple install.

Simple Well to Pond with a Solar Pump.

With a direct drive solar pump, keep a tank full with water from your well ready for irrigation day or night. If you don’t have elevation on your property sufficient for pressure (50’ to 100’) you can use the popular solar charged-battery system called the Tankless Pressure Pump™ to pressurize water from the tank whenever [...]

Popular Household Pressure on Solar.

Great Install in Texas.
