Solar Pumps

Reliable fuel-free water for your farm 

Expensive fuel, unreliable power, and high-maintenance engines make commercial water pumps a costly and frustrating option for many smallholder farmers in Kenya. IrriHub solar water pumps change that equation entirely. Powered by clean, free solar energy, our pumps draw water from shallow wells, water pans, boreholes, and dams, delivering it reliably where you want it without a single liter of diesel or electricity bill. Once installed, the sun does the work. 

Our solar pumping systems are engineered for simplicity and longevity. Each system comprises a pump, a pump motor, and a controller. This modular design ensures that all electronics remain above ground level for easy access and straightforward maintenance. No specialist technician needed for day-to-day operation, guaranteeing a cost-effective ownership experience.

  • All electronics are above ground level
