Why burn diesel to pump water when the sun can do the job?
In Australia's Wolgan Valley, a farm has replaced its diesel pump with a solar-powered system to irrigate macadamia trees, supply livestock and meet everyday water needs.
Powered by just 16 solar panels, the pump draws water from a nearby lake and delivers up to 150,000 litres a day.
No fuel deliveries. No diesel costs for pumping. No servicing diesel engines. No noise. And one less thing for the farmer to worry about.
Installed by our partner Renewable Power Systems, this project shows how switching to solar can make farming simpler, more independent and cheaper to run.
The sun doesn't send a fuel bill. Why should your water supply?
