We specialize in expert installation, reliable repairs, and scheduled maintenance of your solar pump, ensuring your system runs efficiently year-round. Our team handles every aspect, including the vital PV panel configuration.
How a Solar Pump Works
Your well draws on groundwater from an underground aquifer. A well pump moves that water from the ground to your home, and with a solar configuration, this process is powered by renewable energy.
Types of solar pumps we install
- Solar Jet Pumps: Typically used for shallow wells, these pumps use suction created by a vacuum to pull water out of the well through a pipe.
- Solar Submersible Pumps: Used in wells of varying depths, these pumps are positioned deep within the well casing and pump the water up. They are highly energy-efficient and effectively leverage solar energy.
A solar well pump setup integrates either a jet or submersible pump with a photovoltaic (PV) panel installed near the well. This technology makes solar energy a viable and cost-saving option for an ever-growing number of properties in the Texas Hill Country.

Solar Pump Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Are solar pumps less powerful than electric pumps?
Not necessarily. Modern solar pumps are designed to meet residential water demands. The key factor is proper sizing and PV panel configuration. While a solar system’s output can fluctuate based on weather, professional installation ensures the system meets your required flow rate and pressure needs, often incorporating battery backup for consistent performance.
What kind of maintenance do solar pumps require?
Solar pump systems require minimal maintenance. The pump itself needs the same occasional inspection as a standard pump. The main tasks involve keeping the PV panels clean (to maximize sunlight absorption) and occasionally checking the wiring and connections for wear or corrosion.
How long do solar pumps and panels typically last?
High-quality solar PV panels are extremely durable and often come with performance warranties of 20 to 25 years. The solar pump motor and its components generally have a lifespan similar to that of standard submersible pumps, ranging from 8 to 15 years, depending on usage and water quality.
