Solar irrigation field guides
Five independent decision guides connect crop water, the source, pipework and operating cost. Start with water demand, measure the lift, then compare technologies. Every guide states its method, limitations and primary sources.
SYSTEM SIZING
Solar pump for one acre
Turn an area label into litres per day, flow at head, storage and a supplier-ready brief.
MEASUREMENTBoreholes & total dynamic head
Measure pumping water level, delivery elevation, pressure and friction without confusing borehole depth with head.
CROP WATERTomato drip requirement
Use FAO crop coefficients, local reference ET, effective rainfall and system efficiency.
ECONOMICSPetrol vs solar payback
Build a farm-specific cash-flow comparison without pretending fuel, maintenance or sunshine are fixed.
PUMP CHOICESurface vs submersible
Choose from water level and suction reality—not price or borehole depth alone.
