Solar water pumps that free you from diesel and grid cuts
Irrigate your fields without depending on erratic grid power or the rising cost of diesel — with subsidy support available under the PM-KUSUM scheme.
A solar water pump uses electricity generated directly from a solar panel array to run your irrigation pump — no diesel, and no dependence on grid power availability during the day.
Under the PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) scheme, farmers can access central and state subsidy support for standalone solar pumps, significantly reducing the upfront cost.
We help you choose the right pump capacity for your borewell depth and farm size, and support you through the PM-KUSUM application and subsidy documentation process.
A solar pump is worth considering if…
- You currently rely on diesel pumps for irrigation
- Grid power for agricultural use is unreliable or limited to certain hours
- You have open farmland with good sun exposure for panel mounting
- You want to reduce ongoing diesel or electricity costs for irrigation
- You're eligible for or interested in PM-KUSUM subsidy support
No more diesel costs
Eliminate the recurring cost and hassle of diesel for irrigation pumping.
Works independent of grid hours
Pump water whenever the sun is up, regardless of grid power schedules.
PM-KUSUM subsidy support
We guide you through eligibility and the application process for scheme subsidy.
Low running cost
Once installed, a solar pump has minimal ongoing operating expense.
Reliable for remote fields
Well suited to farmland without a nearby stable grid connection.
Long usable life
Solar pump systems are built for years of outdoor agricultural use.
Typical solar pump capacities
The right pump capacity depends on your borewell depth, water requirement and farm size — confirmed during a free site visit.
| Pump Capacity | Suitable For | Approx. Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 3 HP | Small landholdings, shallow borewells | [PLACEHOLDER] |
| 5 HP | Medium landholdings, moderate depth | [PLACEHOLDER] |
| 7.5 HP | Larger landholdings or deeper borewells | [PLACEHOLDER] |
| 10 HP+ | Large farms or shared community irrigation | [PLACEHOLDER] |
Solar agricultural pumps — frequently asked questions
PM-KUSUM is a central government scheme that supports farmers in installing standalone solar pumps and solarising existing grid-connected pumps, with subsidy support to reduce upfront cost. We help you understand which component of the scheme applies to you.
Pump capacity depends on your borewell depth, water table, and the area you need to irrigate. Our team assesses this during a free site visit before recommending a capacity.
In most cases, yes — a correctly sized solar pump can fully replace diesel for daytime irrigation needs. We'll confirm suitability based on your current pump specifications and water requirement.
Solar pump output is lower on cloudy days. Many farmers combine solar with limited use of an existing pump as backup during extended low-sunlight periods.
Basic upkeep like periodic panel cleaning helps maintain output. We can guide you on simple maintenance, and offer AMC support if you'd prefer it handled for you.
