Solar Water Pumping & Irrigation
Lifesaving water delivery and productive irrigation powered by the sun.
Solar water pumping transforms livelihoods by eliminating dependence on costly diesel pumps or erratic manual collection. From domestic borehole pumping to community tap stands and large-scale agricultural drip irrigation (as proven at our landmark Dowa Mpisi solar water pumping and greenhouse project), IES delivers turnkey water security across Malawi.

Execution & Methodology
What to expect when you work with IES
From initial site audit to ongoing servicing, here is how our renewable energy professionals coordinate every phase of your solar water pumping & irrigation installation.
Hydrogeological Assessment
Verification of borehole yield, static water level, pumping head, and daily water volume requirements before recommending pump specifications.
Civil, Plumbing & Tower Construction
Structural tank-tower erection, pump-house construction, underground distribution pipework, and secure waterpoint tap stands.
Productive Use of Energy (PUE)
Direct integration with modern drip-irrigation manifolds, greenhouse watering lines, and livestock watering troughs to boost agricultural incomes.
Automatic Pressure & Float Controls
Dry-run borehole protection sensors and automatic high-tank float switches that prevent overflow and motor burnout.
