Submersible Solar Well Pumps

Submersible solar well pumps are engineered to deliver efficient, cost-effective water access in deep wells—up to 820 feet below ground.

Powered by solar energy, these pumps eliminate reliance on grid electricity and offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional electric or diesel-powered systems.

Perfect for remote locations and off-grid living, these pumps are commonly used for homesteads, farms, and livestock watering. The Solar Store carries a complete lineup of durable options, from compact Shurflo 9300 submersible pumps to high-capacity Grundfos SQFlex systems.

Are you looking to design a complete water system? Pair your submersible well pump with solar water pumping accessories or upgrade power management with MPPT charge controllers.

Ideal For

• Remote cabins and off-grid homes
  

• Livestock watering and agricultural irrigation
  

• Community water access in rural areas
  

• Backup and emergency water systems

If you have a higher deep lift, need more water, or want a pump that does not require service for 10 to 20 years, the Grundfos SQFlex solar well pumps are a good choice.

The SQFlex solar pump can lift water over 820 feet and can pump over 90 gallons per minute (GPM) at lower lifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do submersible solar water pumps typically last?

On average, a well-maintained submersible solar water pump can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, depending on the brand, water conditions, and frequency of use. Proper installation, good well water quality, and regular maintenance play a key role in extending the lifespan of the pump.

Can submersible pumps be used in freezing temperatures?

Submersible pumps are typically located deep underground, where the temperature remains stable. However, if your location experiences freezing temperatures, you will need to ensure that external pipes or above-ground components are insulated to prevent freezing. You may also want to consider using a pitless adapter.

Would it be possible to connect submersible solar water pumps to a backup generator?

Yes, many submersible solar water pumps are compatible with backup generators for use during long periods of insufficient sunlight. The Grundfos SQFlex pumps can run directly off of a generator. But Shurflo and Aquatec pumps would need to be run through a battery system that is being charged by the generator.

What’s the difference between a helical rotor and a centrifugal pump?

HHelical rotor pumps excel at achieving very deep lifts with lower flow rates, while centrifugal pumps are more effective for higher flow rates at moderate depths.
