What to consider before choosing a solar irrigation system
A practical starting point for assessing water source, farm size, crop needs, and the right pumping capacity.
A productive solar irrigation system begins with a clear understanding of the farm—not with a product catalogue.
Start with the water source
Depth, distance, flow rate, and water quality all affect system design. A proper site assessment helps determine the pump, solar array, and distribution method that fit the farm.
Plan around the crop
Different crops and growth stages require different watering patterns. Designing around real crop demand makes the system more efficient and reliable.
