Solar Pool Pumps | The Solar Store
The Sun Pumps SCP Series solar pool pumps provide exceptional power, precision, and sustainability, making them a highly efficient alternative to a traditional AC-powered pool pump up to 3 HP.
These solar-powered pool pumps deliver the highest standards of water circulation for the pool industry and beyond while reducing environmental impact.
Solar-Powered Pool Pumps Built for Precision
Get circulating water and promote clean and safe environments, regardless of pool size. Whether you have a large commercial swimming pool or a smaller backyard build, we have the perfect solar pool pump for you.
Choose the BV high-volume models equipped with larger 2.5-inch outlets for swimming pools with capacities of up to 35,000 gallons. We also have BC lower-volume models with 2-inch outlets for smaller pools.
Our solar pump system collection also features a diverse range of flow capacities and head ranges. With flow capacities between 35 and 115 gallons per minute, you can ensure efficient pool water filtration and circulation. With head ranges up to 65 feet, you can pump water over a vertical distance, which can be crucial if your pool has different elevations and additional water features such as fountains and waterfalls.
Reliability and Versatility in One
Our solar power pool pumps are designed with advanced brushless DC motors, eliminating the need for brushes, which are common wear points in traditional motors. This design ensures minimal friction and longer life expectancy. With our solar pool pumps, you can enjoy energy efficiency for many years.
The pumps are also ideal for a wide array of uses beyond pool water filtration. Use them for pond aeration to improve water quality or water circulation in aquaculture systems to create healthy aquatic environments. You can also use them to irrigate small farms and power decorative fountains.
The reliability and versatility of our pumps make them valuable investments for businesses, homeowners, and hobbyists alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a solar pool pump work compared to a traditional pump?
A solar pool pump operates entirely on energy from the sun, unlike traditional pool pumps that rely on the electrical grid for power. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, which powers the pump to circulate and filter pool water. This reduces the need for grid electricity and eliminates associated energy costs.
Will a solar pool pump work on cloudy days or during low sunlight?
Solar pool pumps are designed to operate during daylight hours when sunlight is available. The pump may still function on cloudy or overcast days but with reduced efficiency. For consistent operation during variable weather, consider adding a battery system to store excess energy generated on sunny days, though this is generally more common for larger solar systems.
How many solar panels are required to run a solar pool pump?
The number of solar panels required depends on your pool's size, the pump's power needs, and the amount of sunlight in your location. A larger pool or higher horsepower pump will generally require more panels. When providing a recommendation, factors such as the pump's daily run time and the specific solar conditions in your area will be considered.
