Agriculture Irrigation
From smallholdings to commercial farms, solar power cuts irrigation costs to near zero. Whether you need high head from a deep borehole or high flow from a river or dam, we design a system — pump, controller and panel array — to match your crop, area and water source. Hybrid AC/DC options keep large schemes running even on cloudy days.

Maximise Crop Yields with Reliable Solar Irrigation
Water is the foundation of successful agriculture, but the rising cost of electricity and fuel keeps piling pressure on farming operations. Solar-powered irrigation offers a sustainable, cost-effective alternative — letting you irrigate crops with minimal running costs while reducing dependence on the grid.
Whether you run a smallholding, a large commercial farm, orchards, vineyards, vegetable fields or row crops, WIKKIES solar pump systems deliver dependable irrigation from boreholes, rivers, dams, canals or reservoirs. Every system is engineered to match your water source, crop requirements, irrigation method and daily water demand.
By harnessing the power of the sun, farmers achieve reliable irrigation, lower operating expenses and greater long-term profitability.
Designed Around Your Farm
No two farms have identical irrigation requirements. Crop type, irrigation method, borehole depth, water demand and pumping distance all shape the ideal design. WIKKIES engineers each installation based on:
- Water source
- Pumping head
- Required flow rate
- Daily irrigation volume
- Irrigation method
- Solar availability
- Future expansion requirements
This ensures every system delivers maximum performance while operating as efficiently as possible.
Suitable for Every Irrigation Application
Solar pumping systems are ideal for a wide range of agricultural operations, including:
- Vegetable farming
- Fruit orchards
- Vineyards
- Citrus farms
- Grain production
- Fodder crops
- Greenhouses
- Nurseries
- Commercial agriculture
- Smallholder farms
Whether irrigating a few hectares or a large commercial operation, solar technology provides reliable water exactly when crops need it most.
Multiple Water Sources
WIKKIES irrigation systems can draw from a variety of sources:
- Deep boreholes
- Rivers
- Dams
- Reservoirs
- Canals
- Storage tanks
- Rainwater harvesting systems
Each pump is selected according to the available water source, pumping depth and required delivery pressure.
High Head or High Flow — Built for Every Challenge
Different irrigation systems call for different pumping capabilities.
High-Head Borehole Systems — ideal for
- Deep boreholes
- Elevated storage tanks
- Pivot irrigation
- Long-distance water transfer
Designed to deliver water efficiently from significant depths while maintaining reliable pressure.
High-Flow Surface Pumps — perfect for
- River abstraction
- Dam irrigation
- Flood irrigation
- Large-volume water transfer
- Centre pivots
- Sprinkler systems
High-flow pumps move substantial volumes efficiently — ideal for commercial farming.
Compatible with All Irrigation Methods
WIKKIES solar pumping systems integrate with virtually every irrigation system:
- Drip irrigation
- Micro irrigation
- Sprinkler irrigation
- Centre-pivot systems
- Flood irrigation
- Orchard irrigation
- Greenhouse irrigation
Reliable water delivery improves crop health while optimising water use and reducing waste.
Advanced MPPT Solar Technology
Every WIKKIES system uses intelligent Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). The controller continuously monitors panel performance and adjusts the pump to extract the maximum available power through the day. Benefits include:
- Increased pumping efficiency
- Better performance during changing weather
- Maximum daily water production
- Reduced energy losses
- Improved overall system reliability
This keeps your irrigation system performing efficiently from sunrise to sunset.
Hybrid AC/DC Solutions for Continuous Operation
For larger operations, uninterrupted irrigation can be critical. WIKKIES offers hybrid AC/DC systems that combine solar with grid electricity or a generator when extra power is needed. Advantages include:
- Continuous irrigation during cloudy conditions
- Automatic switching between power sources
- Reduced electricity consumption
- Lower diesel usage
- Greater operational flexibility
- Reliable water delivery during peak demand
Hybrid systems strike the ideal balance between renewable energy and dependable backup power for commercial irrigation schemes.
Intelligent Automation
Modern irrigation benefits from intelligent control that simplifies day-to-day management. Available functions include:
- Automatic pump start & stop
- Water-level monitoring
- Dry-run protection
- Reservoir level control
- Overflow protection
- Pressure monitoring
- Remote monitoring options
Automation reduces manual intervention while helping maintain consistent irrigation schedules.
Built for Agricultural Environments
Agricultural equipment must perform reliably in demanding conditions. WIKKIES solar pumps are built with:
- Corrosion-resistant stainless-steel components
- High-efficiency brushless motors
- Weather-resistant electronic controllers
- Durable construction
- Low maintenance requirements
- Long operational life
Designed for continuous outdoor operation, these systems provide dependable performance season after season.
Reduce Irrigation Costs
Traditional irrigation often relies on expensive electricity or diesel pumps. Solar irrigation dramatically lowers running costs by eliminating fuel expenses and cutting electricity use. Farmers benefit from:
- Free solar energy
- Lower operating costs
- Reduced fuel consumption
- Minimal maintenance
- Lower total cost of ownership
- Improved return on investment
Over the lifetime of the system, these savings can significantly improve farm profitability.
Sustainable Farming for the Future
Solar-powered irrigation supports environmentally responsible farming by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and making better use of renewable energy. Benefits include:
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Zero fuel consumption during normal operation
- Renewable solar energy
- Quiet operation
- Lower environmental impact
- Improved long-term sustainability
As water and energy costs keep rising, solar irrigation gives farmers a resilient solution for future success.
