The number of Solar Panels needed to run a Borehole Submersible DC Pump depends on the Horse Power of that Borehole Pump.

The Submersible Borehole DC Pumps systems range from only needing 1 Solar Panel (340Watts) for a 0.25HP pump to around 10 Solar Panels for a 5 HP. DC Pumps are ultra-efficient because they take the DC power directly from the solar panels and send the power down through the controller to the pump.

These DC Solar Submersible Pumps will run the entire day, just like a 10 Solar Panel 5 HP pump, as long as the sun is shining.

When a project requires a high volume of water or a pump for a very deep Borehole, you will need to upgrade to more Solar Panels and a higher HP Submersible DC Pump.
