Job description

We have an existing productive borehole currently powered by a diesel generator. We want to convert to a fully solar‑powered pumping system for irrigation and livestock. Work required:

Assess current borehole yield, head, and daily water demand.
Design a complete solar pumping package (pump, controller, panels, structure, cabling).
Supply, install, and commission the system including basic monitoring (flow meter or hour meter).
Provide a summary design sheet showing expected daily production versus season and recommended operating hours.

Include any options for hybrid (solar + grid/generator) if clouds are persistent.

Reliable borehole drilling & complete water solutions, done right the first time.

I’m a mobile borehole rig operator specializing in end‑to‑end water solutions for residential, commercial, and agricultural clients. I handle the full process: site assessment, borehole drilling, casing and gravel packing, test pumping, and well development to ensure a clean, reliable water source. Beyond drilling, I can design and install storage and distribution systems including elevated water towers, submersible and surface pumps, solar pumping setups, and basic filtration. My focus is on honest advice, accurate estimates, and clear communication so you understand exactly what will be delivered on‑site, the expected yield, and long‑term maintenance needs. Whether you need a brand‑new borehole or want to upgrade an existing system with better pumping and storage, I can help you choose a solution that fits your budget and local ground conditions.
