Solar-powered water pumping for Zimbabwe's farms.
Off-grid solar pumping systems for irrigation, boreholes and livestock watering. Eliminate diesel fuel costs and deliver reliable water supply with clean energy.
Water pumping is one of the most cost-effective applications for solar energy in Zimbabwe. Genking Power Services designs and installs solar pumping systems that eliminate diesel fuel costs and deliver reliable water supply for agricultural and rural applications.
Our solar pumping solutions use variable speed drive (VSD) controllers that directly match pump speed to available solar irradiance. This means the pump runs faster when the sun is stronger and slower during cloud cover — no batteries required for most agricultural applications.
We deploy both submersible and surface pump configurations depending on your water source depth, flow rate requirements and total dynamic head. Our engineering team conducts borehole yield tests and hydraulic calculations to size every system correctly.
From small borehole pumps for livestock watering to large irrigation systems for commercial farming operations, Genking delivers complete solar pumping solutions including PV array, VSD controller, pump, piping and reservoir integration.

Questions about solar pumping in Zimbabwe.
Most agricultural solar pumping systems do not need batteries. The VSD controller varies pump speed based on available sunlight, pumping water directly into a storage reservoir. This is more cost-effective than adding battery storage.
Solar submersible pumps can reach depths of 200+ metres depending on the pump model and PV array size. Our engineers calculate the total dynamic head (depth + friction losses + delivery height) to select the right pump and solar array combination.
Solar pumping systems typically pay for themselves in 1.5–3 years compared to diesel pumping, due to eliminated fuel and maintenance costs. After payback, the water is essentially free for the remaining 20+ year system life.
