Solar Irrigation Pumps — frequently asked
What is the payback of a solar irrigation pump vs. diesel?
Typically 2.5–5 years when replacing a diesel pump running >4 hours/day. At $1/L diesel and 4 L/h consumption, annual fuel saving is $5,000–8,000, against a $12,000–25,000 solar-pump-plus-PV CAPEX for a 10 kW system.
Do I need to change my irrigation schedule?
For direct-PV pumping, yes — irrigate mostly between 09:00 and 16:00. Add an elevated storage tank (500–5,000 m³) to decouple pumping from irrigation timing, or add a small hybrid grid/diesel connection for evening watering.
