Solar pumps

Solar powered water pumps save a lot of time and money over the years. The cost of constantly running a diesel or petrol pumps can add up quickly. Besides the cost, solar powered pumps can save on time and effort. Once a solar pumping system in installed, there is no need to continually fill up fuel, change the oil and service the pump.

This is particularly helpful when your water source is in a far and getting fuel delivered there is expensive and inconvenient. Plus, this system is also quiet, environmentally friendly and easy to install.  

For most rural and agricultural properties, yes. The upfront cost is higher than a petrol pump, but solar systems are designed to be set-and-forget — once they're in the ground and running, they largely take care of themselves. With no fuel costs and minimal maintenance, most customers find the system pays for itself within a few years. It's a long-term investment in reliable, hassle-free water supply for your property.

Every property is different and this Mono system is highly customisable to your situation. By getting in touch with the Pak Pumps team, we'll ask about your bore depth or water source, water requirements and site conditions. From there we'll put together a custom quote with the right system for your setup.

We stock Australian-made Mono Solar Pump systems in submersible, floating, and surface configurations, so there's a solution for most applications.

Very little maintained is required for a few reasons: 

• The brushless DC submersible motor used in Mono solar systems has no brushes or rotor position sensors, which means there's no ongoing motor maintenance required.
• The helical rotor pump design has minimal parts and is very reliable with little to no maintenance.

The main thing to keep an eye on is keeping your solar panels clean and free of shade. We'd recommend a periodic system check every year or two, but these systems are built to run reliably with minimal intervention.

Yes — solar pumps are designed to keep working in overcast conditions, just at a reduced flow rate. The Mono SUN-RAY pump end operates at low speeds which maximises water output across the whole day, including during cloudy periods. The solar motor controller also uses variable speed control to make the most of whatever solar power is available.
