0.37kW 4-Inch Solar Borehole Pump System — Affordable Off-Grid Water Supply
This 0.37kW solar borehole pump system is designed for shallow-to-medium depth boreholes on small farms, smallholdings, and rural residential properties in South Africa. Running entirely on solar power with no battery or grid connection required, it pumps water whenever the sun shines — filling tanks, troughs, and reservoirs for household and livestock use.

How It Works
The system uses an MPPT pump controller to convert DC solar power into variable-frequency AC for the submersible pump motor. This allows the pump to operate at maximum efficiency across varying solar irradiance levels throughout the day, rather than requiring a fixed voltage. The pump automatically starts when there is sufficient solar energy and stops when solar is insufficient — no batteries, no fuel, no running costs.
Ideal Applications
At 0.37kW, this system is suited to: single household water supply, small vegetable gardens with drip irrigation, livestock watering troughs, filling JoJo tanks, and remote cabins or game lodges without grid power.
FAQ
Does this system need a battery?
No. The solar borehole pump system operates directly from solar panels via the MPPT pump controller. Water is pumped during daylight hours into a storage tank, which then supplies the property on demand.
What is the minimum borehole size?
This pump fits any 4-inch (100mm) or larger borehole. Borehole diameter should be confirmed with your borehole driller before ordering.
What depth of borehole can this pump handle?
The 0.37kW system is rated to 60m total dynamic head — this is the combination of static water level + pumping head + pipe friction losses. For boreholes deeper than 60m, consider the 0.75kW or 1.5kW models.
Is installation included?
Installation is not included but can be arranged. The system requires a qualified borehole pump installer for safe submersible installation.
