Borehole solarisation is becoming the preferred water pumping solution for farmers, schools, institutions, homes and commercial properties across Kenya. Rising electricity costs and expensive diesel fuel have pushed many borehole owners to switch to solar-powered pumping systems.
A properly designed solar borehole system can reduce water pumping costs by more than 90% while providing reliable water supply throughout the year.
Borehole solarisation involves replacing electricity or diesel-powered water pumping systems with solar-powered pumps that use energy generated directly from solar panels.
The system typically consists of:
The cost depends on several factors including borehole depth, daily water demand, pumping head and solar pump size.
| System Type | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Small Borehole System | KSh 180,000 – 350,000 |
| Medium Borehole System | KSh 350,000 – 700,000 |
| Large Commercial System | KSh 700,000 – 2,500,000+ |
Every borehole requires professional sizing to determine the exact system requirements and quotation.
Deeper boreholes require larger pumps and higher solar power capacity, increasing overall project cost.
The more water required per day, the larger the pump and solar array needed.
Large storage tanks improve reliability and may reduce the required solar pumping capacity.
Different pump models and manufacturers vary in efficiency and price.
Transportation, site accessibility and installation complexity influence project costs.
