Solar Powered

Dowdens has been supplying solar powered pumping solutions for many years. Commonly used in pumping water from bores and wells to irrigate crops, water livestock and supply water for domestic use, solar power pumping is becoming commonplace.

Dowdens has a speciality solar pumping team to help you with selecting the correct pumps, solar panels, tanks and pipes to get an efficient system Saved Templates to suit any requirement.

Solar Powered Applications

Solar powered pumps are extremely useful where mains power cost is prohibitive or unavailable and existing water reservoirs, creeks, rivers, bore or well are available. Our experienced solar team can help design and install a solar pumping system to suit the following applications:

  • Solar-powered water pumps for livestock — Giving more energy conscious water access to farmers allows livestock to enjoy the benefits too. It’s a cost-effective way to continue farming efficiently and reliably.
  • Water for crop irrigation — Solar irrigation pumps are essential to crop irrigation. It provides a more sustainable way to improve crop quality and continue operations without having to worry about exorbitant costs and negative environmental impacts.
  • Lawn or garden irrigation — Solar garden water pumps don’t just help larger industries, they allow even sprinklers to run on sustainable and cost-effective energy.
  • Drinking water for commercial or residential use — Solar water pumps are essential for everyday use. Whether that be in businesses or individual homes, reliable and consistent access to drinking water is essential. Without relying on purely electrical energy, solar power gives an extra sense of security in an area that has it installed.

Dowdens Solutions

  • Landfill odour mitigation — Control odour by allowing us to help deliver the solutions you need.
  • Mine site rehabilitation — We help with repairing the effects of mining in numerous ways. If you need our services, we’re here for you.
  • Residential drinking water — Having an efficient and trustworthy energy source that doesn’t rely on electrical systems is invaluable for essential things like drinking water. Solar bore pumps help provide this access to rural areas too.
  • Livestock drinking water — Livestock shouldn’t be denied access to reliable energy sources, so solar power is a great way to ensure drinking water is within easy reach.
  • Crop irrigation — Controlled amounts of water need a controlled energy source, and there’s nothing more controlled than solar power.
  • Garden irrigation — Solar irrigation pumps for slow drip irrigation in both commercial and residential sizes benefit greatly from solar-powered pumps.

Common Industries Supplied

  • Accommodation & resorts: Bore water pumps and wells are essential to the effective and continuous running of accommodation and resorts. The importance of creating sustainable and cost-effective solutions for water delivery and maintenance cannot be understated in the industry. By creating a reliable source of water management, bore pumps and wells help the industry grow and operate without significant pain points.
  • Agriculture: Bore pumps and wells help farmers irrigate their crops more effectively, leading to higher yields and lower costs. They also provide a reliable source of water for other uses on the farm, such as washing livestock or watering gardens.
  • Aquaculture: Borehole pumps and wells are important to the aquaculture industry because they provide a consistent and reliable water supply for fish and other aquatic creatures. Without a stable and plentiful water source, the aquaculture industry couldn’t operate effectively. Bore pumps and wells also help regulate the water’s temperature, which is vital for the health of the fish.
  • Government: Few industries rely on consistent and efficient water pumps and wells more than the government sector. Sustainable water sources are an absolute necessity, so we have made it our business to help with water delivery, maintenance and management in countless areas — gardens and sporting fields, parks, buildings, etc.
  • Mining, oil & gas: Without wells and pumps, it would be much more challenging to extract the resources we rely on from the ground. Wells and pumps play an essential role in the mining, oil and gas industry and help us access the resources we need sustainably.
  • Residential: Bore pumps and wells provide a reliable, consistent water source for homes and businesses. They are also relatively affordable and easy to install, making them a popular choice for many homeowners.
