SOLAR PUMPS
Solar Borehole Pumps and Solar Water Pumps
DC SOLAR PUMPS
We supply a very wide range of water pumps for any irrigation, transfer or pressure application. Big or Small! AC & Solar!
​
Our Solar Pump range offered includes DC and Hybrid Solar pump options and is offered in various pump brands. CRI, DAB, Grundfos, Multiflow, Pumpman and Spitfire solar pumps are some of our top-selling products and are used by our customers for a variety of different applications. Our staff are available to assist when making a selection to ensure the best option for your need. Theses solar pumps are well supported in Sub Saharan Africa with spares and technical support.
HYBRID SOLAR PUMPS
Our Solar VSD range come build-in with protection and in various kit and combo packages. Solar VSD's (Variable Speed Drives) are also known as Solar VFD's (Variable Frequency Drives) which are the more correct term and are used to intelligently control pump startup and offers various functionalities and applications such as flow and pressure control and much more.
When it comes to solar irrigation systems Tripple Hydro & Energy is a market leader in solar blending and solar hybrid solutions. We offer VSD drives with seamless solar blending and can be applied in most irrigation pump systems which includes pivots and other applications.

Solar Pumps background and function
​
The energy created by the sun, commonly referred to as solar power, can be utilised in several of ways to convert the sun’s rays into electricity. With a solar water pump, solar energy is converted into electricity and fed to a pump which circulates water. Solar pumps can be used in borehole, swimming pools, fountains and larger agricultural projects for irrigation and pivot applications.
Solar pumps are an environmentally friendly and energy/cost efficient way to pump water for a wide range of domestic and commercial purposes as well as for agricultural and residential irrigation and/or cattle or livestock watering.
Another very big advantage is that a solar pump is virtually silent.
Solar pumps are self-contained pumping systems which provide a water supply solution for residences or business which normally are located in areas where there is no access to a conventional electrical energy such as a grid or a generator, such as small villages or farms which have widely distributed pastures. It is also ideally suited for the eco-friendly homes or homes in drought stricken areas which use boreholes for their water supply. The solar pump is one of the greatest solutions to the electricity problems in South Africa as it utilises the abundance of free energy which we receive each day from the sun.
Solar pumps are easy to install and require virtually no maintenance, and they can have a lifespan of roughly 20 years. This means that after the initial set up costs their serving costs are minimum.
The variable flow rate of the solar pump is largely determined by the strength and direction of the sun. You need to ensure that the specific solar water pump purchased meets the needs of your system and application.
The solar array collects the sun’s UV rays and converts it into usable electricity by means of a MPPT controller. The systems can also be fitted with an auxiliary AC input to accommodate generator or grid supply.
