Remote & Off-Grid Water

Reliable Water Wherever You Need It

Access to clean, dependable water shouldn't depend on access to the electrical grid. Across Southern Africa, thousands of communities, farms, lodges, mining operations and remote facilities operate far from power infrastructure, making traditional water pumping expensive and difficult to maintain.

WIKKIES solar water systems provide a reliable, self-sufficient solution by harnessing the sun to pump water from boreholes, rivers, dams, wells and reservoirs. With no reliance on grid electricity or constant fuel deliveries, our systems deliver a sustainable water supply wherever it's needed.

Designed for demanding environments, WIKKIES solar pumping systems provide dependable performance with minimal maintenance — helping organisations and communities secure their water supply for years to come.

Power-Independent Water Supply

Solar-powered pumping generates electricity directly from the sun, pumping water automatically through the day without mains electricity or diesel generators. A complete system typically includes:

  • High-efficiency solar panels
  • Intelligent MPPT controller
  • Solar borehole or surface pump
  • Water storage tanks
  • Water-level sensors
  • Distribution pipeline
  • Optional remote monitoring

Stored water provides a reliable supply into the evening and overnight, ensuring continuous availability even when the sun is no longer shining.

Ideal for Remote Installations

WIKKIES systems are trusted across a wide range of off-grid applications, including:

  • Rural communities
  • Remote villages
  • Healthcare clinics
  • Safari lodges
  • Eco-tourism facilities
  • Construction camps
  • Mining operations
  • Conservation areas
  • Schools
  • Disaster-relief projects

Wherever reliable water is required, our systems provide a dependable and sustainable solution.

Eliminate Fuel & Generator Costs

Transporting fuel to remote locations is expensive, time-consuming and often unreliable. Solar pumping removes the need for:

  • Diesel generators
  • Fuel deliveries
  • Rising fuel costs
  • Engine servicing
  • Oil changes
  • Frequent mechanical maintenance

By running entirely on renewable solar energy, WIKKIES systems significantly reduce operating costs while improving long-term reliability.

Engineered for Harsh Environments

Remote installations often face extreme weather, limited maintenance access and demanding operating conditions. WIKKIES systems are built to withstand:

  • High temperatures
  • Dust and sand
  • Heavy rainfall
  • Remote operating conditions
  • Continuous daily use
  • Challenging environments

High-quality materials, corrosion-resistant components and efficient brushless motors ensure dependable operation with minimal maintenance.

Intelligent Water Management

Our advanced controllers automate pumping while protecting the whole system. Features include:

  • Dry-run protection
  • Water-source monitoring
  • Automatic tank filling
  • Overflow protection
  • Automatic restart
  • Protection against voltage fluctuations
  • Intelligent MPPT solar optimisation

These smart features help maximise equipment lifespan while ensuring reliable daily water production.

Remote Monitoring for Complete Peace of Mind

Many remote installations sit hundreds of kilometres from maintenance teams. Optional remote monitoring lets operators:

  • Monitor system performance in real time
  • View water-production data
  • Receive fault notifications
  • Track system health
  • Identify maintenance needs early
  • Reduce unnecessary site visits

Whether managing one installation or multiple remote sites, remote monitoring provides valuable insight while reducing operational costs.

Flexible Water Sources

WIKKIES solar pumping systems can draw from a wide variety of sources:

  • Deep boreholes
  • Shallow wells
  • Rivers
  • Dams
  • Reservoirs
  • Natural springs
  • Storage tanks

Each system is designed to suit the available water source, required pumping head and daily water demand.

Sustainable Water for Communities

Reliable access to clean water supports healthier communities and stronger local economies. Our systems help provide water for:

  • Drinking
  • Cooking
  • Washing
  • Sanitation
  • Livestock
  • Small-scale agriculture
  • Community water distribution

By removing dependence on unreliable infrastructure, communities gain greater resilience and long-term water security.

Reduce Environmental Impact

Solar-powered water pumping offers significant environmental advantages over conventional fuel-powered systems. Benefits include:

  • Renewable solar energy
  • Zero fuel consumption
  • Lower carbon emissions
  • Quiet operation
  • Reduced environmental footprint
  • Sustainable long-term operation

These systems provide an environmentally responsible way to deliver clean water to even the most remote locations.
