Cost of Solar Borehole Installation in Zimbabwe
Written By:
Borehole Experts Zimbabwe | Topic: Solar Water Systems
Focus: Cost Breakdown & Equipment Guide
A solar borehole is a vital investment given Zimbabwe's economic benefits and incoherent power supply. When you set up a solar borehole, you benefit from an unlimited water supply for homes, farming, and commercial use for over 20 years.
So, what are you waiting for? Discover how much it will cost you to build a solar water system in Zimbabwe and understand the materials required.
Step 1: Drilling the Hole
The foundation of the system. Prices depend on location and topography.
BOREHOLE DRILLING
Variable Costs: Difficulty varies by region (e.g., rocky vs. sandy). Includes mobilization, drilling, and casing.
Average Range: Nationwide estimate.
Step 2: Solar Panels
The power source. Prices vary by efficiency and wattage (330W - 550W+).
MONOCRYSTALLINE PANELS
High Efficiency: The best choice for solar water systems. Higher power output in smaller spaces.
POLYCRYSTALLINE PANELS
Budget Friendly: Slightly lower efficiency but widely available and effective for larger arrays.
Step 3: Pumps & Electronics
Submerged below 10 meters, capable of pumping from 700m depths. Cost: $200 - $1,000+ depending on capacity (HP) and brand.
Essential for regulating power and automating the pump. Solar inverters convert DC to AC for larger pumps. Cost: $200+.
Most solar pumps run directly from panels during the day. Batteries are only needed if you must pump at night. Cost: $500 - $2,500.
Step 4: Stands & Tanks
Building a robust structure is key for both panels and water storage.
- Tank Stands: Steel structures to elevate your tank for gravity feed.
- Panel Mounts: Can be roof-mounted (cheaper) or on a dedicated stand atop the tank.
- Estimated Cost: Metal girder structures typically start from $500 USD depending on height and steel quality.
